I totally agree. I love my gadgets and am looking forward to seeing what the new Internet tablets are going to be like - but not for doing any serious reading on - shudder!

I've read ebooks on netbooks, laptops, macbook, ipod touch and e-ink devices and you can't beat e-ink for serious reading. I find my PocketBook 360 is actually more comfortable than reading a paperbook as I can read one-handed for lengthy sessions (even rotating the screen so I can swap between either hand which is necessary with a fidgety toddler) and have my entire collection of books right there to read.

I can only see ebook dedicated devices going from strength to strength as people cotton on to just how great they are. I can remember my Dad saying he didn't want a computer about 10 years ago and her argued adamantly about why would he want one - huh now he has a computer and a laptop and is obsessed with his digital music collection.
