And LCD screen is 100% fine for reading for someone just reading a handful of books a year and hardly ever reading for more than an hour. You just have to think outside of the avid reader box to see the appeal of such devices.

Dmaul,
You do have a point. I was looking at it from my point of view. But nowadays listening to music on a cd player is as archaic to people as a old turntables. So the day will come where books and newspapers will be delivered digitally to your "doorstep." If you have a device that can do
that effectively and much more... then you have you next ipod-like craze.
I realize that this won't happen for a very long time, but I still see Apple grabbing a different larger market than the current reader market.
