To have a complete collection audio and text are both required.
A standard tablet is a poor solution because I have always read outdoors a lot.

The reader market is big enough now to serve niche users.
I hope that Amazon's light and ergonomic Oasis does well, and that waterproof readers continue to sell.
I like seeing all the larger readers coming out now, and I hope we see five inch screens (this time with smaller bezels) again.

It doesn't matter that I am not in the market for every unit that comes out. I don't have analysis paralysis and more options is always better to me.
