Why limit it to Windows8 devices? My Nexus 7 has a keyboard attached for typing. It is actually a whole case turning it into a mini notebook. If there is need for a mouse, I flip a switch and turn the mouse on. Right at this moment I am using a different keyboard that is talking over bluetooth with my phone - so I can type this reply. It does not have to be a real hybrid desiged as a notebook / tablet to fall into that category.

Forgive me for saying so, but you seem to have already made up your mind that "nobody reads on a PC", and are simply discarding evidence which doesn't fit with your ideas. "We'll ignore hybrid tablets", "We'll ignore academic books", "We'll ignore PDFs", etc. If you are conducting research, shouldn't you be going into it with an open mind?

I agree, it is not very scientific to define the rules after contrary evidence shows up. Unless it is is some kind of debate club, and somebody drew the short straw ...
For the research I wonder when my phone ceases to be simply a phone and starts beeing a "PC" - Do I need to attach a bigger monitor to it? Do ultra portables stop being a PC only because they are potentially mobile? When I look into the office section where I work I don't see many traditional desktop computers - most have either a docking station or simply their notebook on the desk.
