So tablets, phones and dedicated E Ink readers are out for reading by those who are not "serious readers"; what do they have left - pbooks, of course.

But moving on, I have a feeling that all the parochial comments giving favor to E Ink displays may be a discouragement to potential new adopters of ebooks. After all, most of our younger kin have phones (and maybe a tablet as well) which they are very comfortable with, so if told they really need to buy another device for reading, and that with a display which is clearly not as sexy to them as good LCD and AMOLED can do they are just going to turn off.

Perhaps you could explain
how you inferred that I said that
SOMEHOW, "tablets, phones and dedicated E Ink readers" are NOT for serious readers? I'm pretty sure that's exactly NOT what I said.
And on this forum, which IS for portable eReading, yes--the "serious readers" tend toward eInks. What, did you get lost on your way to the newspaper stand on the corner?
