Wasn't aimed at you--or about pixelQi in general.
Just the people very hostile to multi-function tablet devices in general for whatever reason.
People are always saying how crappy they'd be for readers--jack of all trades master of none, etc. Largely because they don't work in a profession where a tablet device would be incredibly handy.
People have different wants and needs. I don't care so much about contrast, eye strain, battery life in a tablet. I just need something I can display up to A4 size PDfs on and mark them up with a stylus primarily in the office.
Not something I can curl up with in bed and read for hours on end. That's what my Kindle is for. Others just seem to hate/fear things like the long-rumored Apple tablet, probably because they worry such devices will catch on in the main stream and kill of dedicated e-ink readers. But I don't see that happening--there will always be at the very least a large niche of avid readers who just want portable e-ink readers as they don't need the other function. So no need for people to fuss so much over tablets etc. If they're not something you need, ignore them. Many of us need them to make the switch from paper to e-versions of our work documents and books.
