Or just that most people aren't avid readers (if they read novels at all) and have no interest in hearing more about a dedicated e-reader.
Where as the iPad has been all over the news (both reports and the TV ad) so people are interested in seeing it for the time being. And it does more than just read so it has a broader appeal.
