Here's a brief item that appeared on NPR's Marketplace show. Now, I love this show usually, but this item seems woefully wrongheaded.
NPR Marketplace Feature
It mentions how the Kobo Reader and other dedicated ebook readers are no competition for the iPad...you know, the same old b.s. comparing two utterly different devices, like comparing an iPad to a hammer or a Kindle to a sewing machine. And it quotes someone who states that nobody, really, is interested in a dedicated reading device, or very few people are.
The text summary is even worse, confusing Borders with Barnes & Noble and the iPad with the iPod.
Let's flood them with a few more comments from people who actually know what they're talking about!
