I suppose. But that's the one thing that annoys me about the site. It's "Mobileread" not "E-ink readers."
Seems like discussion of reading on any type of electronic device should be good to go. It's fine people prefer e-ink, but no need to be defensive/hostile to discussion of other devices for purposes not suited to e-ink like academic use etc.

Very true. I meant more just that it was a specific market not a tiny one which niche implies so poor choice of words on my part.
My bigger point is that such devices are no threat to dedicated readers aimed at avid leisure readers. Two separate markets that can easily co-exist. Many only need one or the other, and other's like me want to have both types of devices.
