Someday when the technology is advanced enough, they'll control everything. Then we can call them Highly Advanced Liseuses.
accuracy is not boring...it's efficient...you are just being efficiently accurate.

BTW, i agree about the life span of the dedicated reading only device, at least in the larger format readers. I can see the 5" devices being less 'multi-porpoise' than the larger format devices. Still I suspect in a few years or less almost all devices sold will be far more multi-purpose. Especially if you consider the attraction of the new trend toward online applications like from Google as well as the move my MS of online versions of MS Office which are free to use. I think this is the market that mfg's who make use of the 3Qi display can begin exploiting now.
