And therein lies the key, I think we can all safely say that Simaru is in NO way anything but a casual reader. According to what he has previously posted, most of us have read more this year then he has in his entire life.
But I agree with you and the other posters, us avid readers use either a dedicated eink reader or a minimum of the 7" tablets.
I gave up on him and his assumptions some time ago. Yes I have the paperwhite, the 7" Fire, a 10" Tab and my 5" Note 3. And not one of them is selected based on replacing any of the others. Each of my devices serves a specific function or two. While most can replace something in a pinch, they will never take over the others duties.
and I've never selected a device based on it fitting in my pocket. Being a female that is really a moot point, but still. Now I will say, I have purchases based on their side pockets for my gadgets.
Does that count??
