That's a really good take on it actually.

The article is really aimed at people who know nothing about e-readers who may be thinking of buying them for someone that know as they're a fairly "hot" and advertised gift this holiday season.

And it's a tough purchase for someone that doesn't know anything about e-readers due to the complexities of having different stores, with different formats, and different DRM schemes etc. etc. regardless of whether the person they're thinking about buying it for is an avid reader or not.
