But I love ereaders for leisure reading.
I definitely think that regardless of when electronic readers "take over the world", companies should be thinking now about the vast array of different needs of readers.

The comfortable paperback-sized multi-format reader I want for leisure reading is going to be vastly different from the letter/A4-sized color reader with markup/highlight/annotate that you want for academic/corporate work which, in turn, is going to be vastly different from the cheap disposable flimsy readers that newspapers and supermarket rags will be distributed on.
