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?

No, I don't think the Ipad will open the market with content. I don't believe in device specific book sites.
The ebooks were already changing before the Ipad was known. The earlier readers only could show books. These days, you have e-ink screen devices which have calendars, document editors, etc.
No, I won't be getting one. I like it even less than when I didn't know the specs. It's way too limited for a tablet in my opinion. I don't mind the LCD screen, as a matter of fact, I'm looking for a tablet like the Ipad. But I want it to run a full Win7 OS, and have at least a card reader (and the ability for multitasking... I mean, in this day and age, no multitasking????). The only thing I really like is the way it looks...
