I don't think anyone is saying that people don't read on their tablets... But I bet there are an awful lot of those tablets are only occasionally used for reading as opposed to dedicated readers.

Tomorrow B&N will announce their 1st quarter earnings. So there will probably be more info then on how things have gone recently.

If there really is an iPad Mini, it's the end for B&N's tablets/LCD e-readers.

Unless Apple can get it in at Nexus 7 like pricing, I doubt that it will be the killer that the Nexus 7 is.
