OMG what a silly comment; the move from dedicated ereaders to tablets has nothing to do with "mindless entertainment" over "cultural consumption". the fact is people are becoming smarter and realizing that a seven inch tablet not only lets you read your books with total freedom but permits that you can read your emails, check your tuittes, check the news and a 101 other things with one gadget. dedicated ereaders were a simple marketing ploy and were great at the time; there was no other real option. i still have my kindle 3 but there is very little chance of going back to it after experiencing the freedom of my Tab 2 7. And with such great ereader apps such as FBreader and Coolreader....onward !!
