It probably was started with that intention, yes. But I still think the basis of the question is a nice discussion topic; do you prefer a dedicated e-reader above an UMPC.
About that short battery life. Have you ever timed yourself reading? When I first saw it, I thought it was short. Until I timed myself. And I hardly ever read more than 4 hours straight. I might read a few minutes in the morning, a few minutes while waiting for my partner to pick me up after work, an hour of two in the evening and then I'm going to sleep. At that time, the device can be charged. Only rarely do I have to charge while reading (sickness can be a reason, or a book that I just can't put away...)
