I haven't touched my 505 since getting the iPad, the situations I would still use it would either be because I was out for the day but not carrying a bag, or I knew I would be in bright sunlight. Other than that, I have no need for it anymore. |
Outside of the tablet or the ebook reader niches, I can't think of a reason why the average person would give a hoot about the markets of either.
I'm not defending ebook readers. I hope the ebook readers of today die a quick death. I just do not see why anyone considers predictions of such to be newsworthy.
