Not gonna quote you but there are over a billion smartphones and tablets and only 75 million ereaders.
Ereaders are a very niche market. I looked that up recently.
But not that many people read enough to offset the cost.
Which I figure is a pretty big factor.
So now when we are talking people that only read paper are we talking about readers like my daughter who reads on a daily basis or are we talking the ones that maybe read a book a month or year.
The second group has no real incentive to buy an ereader.
I was serious though about if you can think of a mass appeal ereader, do talk to Michael over at goodEreader. I understand he tries to be innovative.
