I haven't been able to find it, but within the last year somebody with Amazon mentioned that their heavy readers mostly used Kindles rather than tablets. I think they were dispelling rumors that eInk eReaders were dead, which would be perfect for this thread, but I haven't been able to find it. (Maybe I dreamed it.)

At any rate, I don't care (except that I -- personally -- want to see eInk devices continue to be developed and sold). For me it's not even a contest which is better, but if others are more comfortable with tablets or smartphones ... that's what choice is all about.
