I think you are weakening your argument by overstating it.
My Galaxy Note does many things excellently. In fact, it does many things I do as part of being g a reader far better than the Kindle. It's even a pretty good book reading platform.
What the Kindle does better is the actual process of reading text only books. And for its price, I am willing to use it just for that.
But the Note is better for cataloging large libraries of books, for selecting books, for reading PDFs, for researching books on the internet. It's both wrong and distracting to say that it's just limping along for those functions.
The Kindle could do those things too if it had much stronger specs and a much higher price. But that would take it out of mass market range.
