The purpose of e-book readers is to read e-books. But there are so many other ways to do that now. You can read them on mobile phones and on PCs, for example. (Even many Kindle owners these days read most of their books on their iPhones. Amazon gives away free applications for both phones and PCs.) You can borrow e-book readers now from the library. Your loved one may not have an e-book reader, but they have a world of access to e-books.
yes, the iphone app IS there, but seriously!!! Even many Kindle owners these days read most of their books on their iPhones seriously? I think not!

I think a lot of Kindle owners, who also happen to be an ipod or itouch owner do sometimes read on their ipod/itouch. The question remains, how many Kindle owners (a lot who, I think I can safely say, generally are not really interested in gadgets, but just want an electronic device by which they can read books and download books without pc) do actually own an ipod/itouch?

Actually... Yes.
