No one said they were the best, best is nearly always subjective. Kindle is the number one selling ereader because that is what people bought the most of. Apple has not sold 1 iPad, so I don't really think consumers has chose it yet. Miserable Flaws, are in the eye of the beholder. The Kindle is not right for me, so I did not buy one. The iPad may be right for me, I might buy one. You might like an offering from Dell, so you would get theirs. That is the marketplace. Of course all the companies have marketing departments, and they all compete and the consumer chooses the ones they prefer.... so... again the customer chooses the winners and losers in a free market economy.
