Sorry to nitpick - I liked what you said. But this survey only showed 38% selected "read ebooks" as
a reason for purchasing - not
the reason. ie. Most of those people could be primarily using it for games (the top 10 selling pay apps on the apple store were games), but also thought they might read a book or two on it.
So 38% is the upper bound. I would think the percentage of people who bought it for
primarily reading ebooks would be far, far fewer than those who simply thought they might like to read an ebook on it.

Exactly! I just bought a new Nook. Last week it would have been $270 - I paid $150. You bet I'm happy!
