In hopes of heading off the mob-jumping, I'd agree with you that not everyone needs a dedicated reading device. More to the point, not everyone
wants one. I know I say it a lot, but I figure if a body has a system that works for them, and doesn't see a need to change it, they ought to stay with it.
At the same time, I'm glad that there are also (finally) devices available that meet
my needs for a reading device. I read on a PDA for several years, but never found it very satisfactory. Both the size, and the visibility in various lighting conditions weren't what I needed/wanted them to be. For me, e-ink is the best thing in the e-reading world since e-texts (thought I was gonna say "sliced bread" dinchya?). I personally like the dedicated device route, because it allows the device to be better optimized for
reading, since it's not trying to be several other things as well. But that's
my criteria, others will find other criteria more important, and I say, more power to 'em.
I still carry my PDA, I just don't try to
read on the thing.
