Not everybody has the same reading habits or reads the same type of books. Most people here on Mobileread, or the most vocal, seem to like curling up to their favorite fiction genre and enjoy reading long hours.
But that is not for everyone there are many folks that want to read science manuals, text books, non-fiction and would love to have a device that can annotate/highlight have lookup features. Have color and deliver rich media. These tablet devices seem to also have better CPU and can handle more fomats than the traditional eInk Device.
While these devices do eat up batteries rather quickly they offer functionality that current eInk devices cannot deliver.
For some those features are more important than battery life.
Personally I think this is great that as consumers we have more choices and all these different devices fill different needs. In the end we all win since they all will help to move pbooks to ebooks.
