I am actually a little concerned that tablets will drive dedicated readers out of the market, because I don't think they are as good at it. I want the best reader not a multi-function compromise, but I don't think there are enough people who think like me to keep the price down. If a tablet is cheaper and almost as good, I'll probably be forced to go that way.

(I already have an iPad, and am considering a 3G Nexus 7, but I'd still want to have an extra tablet just for ebooks because I don't use my iPad in the same places I use my Kindle, and I don't want to have to carry it with me all the time.)
