So why, again, does any of this matter?
Consumers will have a choice between eink or lcd; single- vs multi-purpose, for the forseeable future. "Winning" isn't all that relevant when "losing" bears very little (if any) consequence for the consumer who prefers the "loser."
For reference; I read solely on an LCD 7" tablet. Have for about a year now. So while it's still a safe bet that the hardest hard-core readers still prefer eink, we're quickly approaching a time where that particular delineation can be safely thrown out the window (if we're not there already). People will read on what they want to read on... whether they're casual readers or hardcore bookworms.
Which brings me back 'round to my point: nobody's going to be forced into reading on a device they don't prefer for a long, long (if ever) time. So what is all this hoo-hah about tablets "winning" something? If it's just a popularity contest, then yes... hell yes... tablets won. Whoopie!! Congratulations Tablets! World's Best Cup of Coffee! You did it! Can we move on now?
