As for reading in bright sunlight, e-readers will indeed keep this advantage but will that very last advantage be enough to sustain a market for future e-readers? |
Yeah, but the only super-awesome-amazing battery I am really looking forward to is the one that lasts thousands of years on a single charge, so I never even have to consider the idea that an actual power source is involved.
I don't care how much/little meaning battery life has -- that holy grail of "irrelevant" which you originally spoke of is a high bar.
And yes, reading in sunlight will remain an advantage, if only the advantage exploited by a niche device, for as long as that advantage exists.
