Again I think the real key is to have a ton of different devices out there ranging from simple dedicated readers with really no extra whistles to tablets that are basically keyboardless laptops and everything in between.
Just get a standardized e-book format like we have with MP3 for digital music and then we can have all kinds of devices out there that can display them and everyone can shop around and find the one that best fits their needs. Be it something that does little more than a current Kindle or Sony reader and is pretty cheap, or a multifunction device with a ton of bells and whistles and a steeper price tag, or something in between.
It's not an either or proposition.
