I can imagine a lot of people (ones I know even) who have the same prioritization as yours. Reading is definitely NOT something that is on many people's list of most important things to do during the day. In fact, I think I heard recently that around 90% of the books bought on Amazon are as gifts for others. That's A LOT. Fact is, we have too many things to do nowadays aside from reading, and that's why the market for "cool" multi-purpose gadgets like iPad will always have a larger market. It's actually catering to the demands of a larger audience. I could see eReaders being a more necessary product back before television, video games, and the internet. But hardly anyone I know seriously reads anymore.
