I could be wrong... but it rather seems to me that "history" (as little of it as is relevant) mostly supports my suggestion.

Don't you think?

Sure.

But my point is there's a much bigger market for portable devices that can surf the net, do e-mail, watch movies, etc. etc. than there is for readers.

Look at the iPhone success. Or how many more Nintendo DS's have been sold than eReaders etc. Or netbooks.

And some of those people who buy a tablet for other reasons may by some books on it too (just like some buy books with the Kindle app on the iPhone) and thus can expand the e-book market beyond tech inclined book worms.
