I'll repeat this here, since it probably got lost on the last page.
This is Mobileread.com. Not e-ink.com. Any device that can display e-books is relevant to discuss here (see the forums on smartphones and PDAs etc. You e-ink fanbois really are a pain in the arse.
Some just read novels and don't need more than e-ink. Others want to read magazines, academic works etc. that need a big color screen--and aren't comfortable to read on a laptop/netbook. Others need that and want a device that doesn't other stuff as they want to do more than just read (and don't need a laptop/netbook).
Plenty of room for all this stuff on the market, and plenty of room for discussion of any type of devices that can one can do e-reading on on this site.
People who don't have interest in tablets should stay out of tablet threads.
Again, I think tablets just need their own sub-forum here like PDAs and smarthphones have so the e-ink loyalists/avid readers quit thread crapping in every discussion of tablets.
And then hopefully the tablet people will quit posting crap about the "death of e-ink" as well. There's plenty of room for tablets and dedicated readers (and all other kinds of gadgets that one can read on) and there should be plenty of room for discussion of them on this site without every tablet thread falling into the same tired arguments between the avid readers and the multi-taskers.
