Reading all the Hoopla on the new iPad that was released today, I remember 2 years ago when a lot of Readers particularly the Kindle and PRS-505 were being released, Steve Jobs remarking that e-book readers will never become big because people do not read anymore.
Now he is publicly challenging Publishers to lower the prices on Ebooks as he releases his device that is built not just for music, video, and gaming, but in a big way trying to insert Apple into the competitive Ebook and Electronic Newspaper market.
I personally prefer E-Ink, it dosen't tend to affect the eyes like my iPod Touch and Blackberry Storm do. I do hope this gets publishers more serious about pushing content electronically.
So a few questions.....
Do you think the iPad will open the market more with content?
Do you think the iPad will change the playing field of other Readers? IE. will it do to Ebook readers what the iPod did to the Walkman?
Will you be getting one?
