it would have been more useful to see a breakdown of reading preferences amongst those who have all three options (phone, tablet, reader) available to them - I often read on my phone because it's a bit more convenient for 15 mins on the train now and then, but for a 'proper' read my PRS505 is much nicer.

Because I have a tablet, a nook, and a phone. I could not imagine choosing my phone to read on verse my nook. I can see the argument that e-readers are a dying breed (see kindle fire, and nook tablet for where that market is going) but reading on a 3-4" screen vs a 7inch screen just seems odd.
Its one thing to read a quick text/tweet/email... and a different thing to read a good novel. IMO.
