Sigh, you people really need to get over your obsession with only reading on a one note machine.
The discussion is about the EREADERS! Eink technology vs. a tablet is far easier to read. I saw many elderly people getting ereaders after dumping the tablets their grandchildren bought them due to complexity of operation and difficulty reading. It may be a one note, but it does it very well. However, even if say 1 in 10 elderly people get a new ereader - the main ereader market is already saturated. They are only buying new ereaders IF their old one breaks and that takes some years for most.

On the other hand, tablets have an advantage now because there currently aren't any ereaders sold that do TTS. I don't actually like my Kindle HDX, but it does have a much better computer voice for TTS. Wish it had bluetooth.
