This sounds reasonable, except that the iPhone and the iPad have completely different primary purposes: one is primarily a phone, the other is a multimedia device, with one of its primary purposes being reading e-publications.
It would be analogous to lumping Sony's smart phones, such as the XPERIA X1, with the ereaders.
IMO, the iPad should have a separate section, and it should be with the other readers. That way, it wouldn't choke off the iPhone discussion, either.
Maybe the Other devices should be simply a subsection of the readers section, anyway, to avoid making somewhat arbitrary judgments as to what is an e-reader.
Just my 2 kopeks.
