If you just buy a handful of books a year, there's no point in buying a device that does nothing but books at any price really. And if 60% of people read 1 or fewer books a year.....then yes that's a niche market.

Lets make one thing perfectly clear. E-Books ARE real books. The others are "paper" books
over 80% of the books on my device aren't bought. They are public domain editions of authors who knew how to write and capture, and keep, a readers attention without explicit sex, swearing or in your face violence,. (Not that I'm against those things, but they have their place )
You don't have to BUY books to use the device.....you can also download books from the library's e-book section and read that way.
No drm stripping here, either. They expire at the end of the loan period.
