I keep seeing 2(+) different crowds responding here on MR

1) Academic use (Large touch screen, note taking, Dictionary, WiFi)

2) Just the books (E-Ink, TTS, Audio), Ma'm crowd (Catalog Navigation, Long Life battery, Lots of storage (types and loading options), Flexible formats...)


One size does NOT fit All.

The Academic niche looks fairly wide open for a dedicated (low cost, Big Screen) Textbook device. Currently only the DX appears in that area. (Does Astak even want to butt heads with King Kong?)


I belong to Group 2. My phone just make calls , My book reader (PEz), Just does Books , My computer does the other stuff

Can a I-phone/Droid user yak on the phone and read a document?
