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? |
Dear Duckey:
You hit it right on the head. It is two different camps and the only question is will the factories realize that. One model will NOT fit all. We need a Basic model and a PRO model.
I hear you and agree. But factories are really "I own it and I will make what I want". I do not agree with this and I do think that by listening they can make more profit AND please their customers.
