Manufacturers should wake up and compete with smartphones and tablets. Otherwise, one day, no one will buy it.

You made this oldster chuckle today! Has e-ink really been around all that long compared to paper books? And how much *improvement* have we seen lately to paper books? Oddly, people still buy paper books too, though the market is clearly changing.
Pretty sure I've not seen much in the way of size increase in the mass market paperback...
Mind you, I like my slightly larger Kobo Aura. A lot. But I had to laugh at e-ink being around for *so long*. It seems so short a time to me!
