I disagree with your statements about quality-but I will agree with them if you change them to average quality, or including features, or something. Paper books still have the best average quality because the average computer setup is just that-average. I have a high-end workstation on which I, occasionally, read ebooks. (Primarily when they have images-maps, diagrams, etc.) If I get a good quality ebook, the display quality is just as good as a good quality treebook. But I'll agree-it takes considerable investment to achieve that quality. I certainly didn't do it to read ebooks because it's a lot easier (and cheaper, unless you have hundreds of books that require high-quality display) to just buy a decent paper copy.
As for the dedicated reader, the major advantages there, IMO, over multi-function computers, is battery life & portability. Again, I see little, if any, difference in the display quality-even for what I think of as an 'average' display. (I'll admit I haven't seen a lot of what others consider average notebooks-to me, even an average notebook should display a resolution of 1200x800 or better. Don't know very much at all about netbooks yet, though.)
