If you had limited your discussion to eink readers some of your arguments might make sense but in the world of tablets your info is sorely lacking.

"Tablet" was the wrong word for me to put in the subject.. Now I can see the cause for confusion. But certainly the question cannot be a "false premise" when it contains no premise nor implies one in the first place.
There are several kinds of display technologies, and the discussion is (or should be) orthogonal to that. I was using the word "tablet" in the most generic sense possible, to refer to handheld devices that are not phones, regardless of the display technology.
If we must split hairs on semantics, what do you call a handheld device that has both a backlit LCD and a separate screen that is some form of e-ink? Is it an e-reader, or a tablet?
What do you call a handheld device with a dual-mode screen, which can be a backlit LCD in one mode of operation, and a reflective LCD in another mode of operation?
