Results from the first installment in Volume Four of the survey show 44 percent of e-book readers prefer a tablet, up from 37 percent in the August 2012 survey. During the same period, respondents' choice of a dedicated e-reader fell from 49 percent to 42 percent. The study suggests the trend will continue as respondents' intent to purchase a dedicated e-reader has dropped, while intent to purchase has remained consistent for tablets, at about 37 percent.

So now a plurality of respondents are interested in tablets? It will be interesting to see how this trend develops. Personally, although I prefer an e-ink reader for long books, tablets are less of a walled garden and a market in which they're the dominant way of e-reading might be better for consumers.
