Correct. Which is why that particular wheel is going to get less and less grease. That tiny market can't squeak loud enough.

But internet "distractions" aside... the number of books I buy (and read) has only gone up since I switched wholesale to a tablet. I don't really care why I like reading on my tablet better, but I do. I suspect I'm not alone.

I guess I just don't really understand many people's apparent need for eInk to be universally recognized as the *better* technology for readers. Isn't it enough that it's the best technology for you (rhet)?
