What's next? Passing judgement on what people actually read?
I like reading on my iPod Touch just fine, thank you. Using ruBooks at the moment. I average around 3 books per week.
I guess I'm quite picky but the point for me is to be able to read in both low-light conditions and at times where I wouldn't normally bring a book with me. A 6" reader is way too big for me, I need my reader to fit in a back- or shirt pocket. My old Palm TX just barely qualified and weirdly cost as much as a 8GB iPod Touch so when the palm gave up, I decided to have a go at the iPod Touch.
For me, the Touch is primarily a reader, secondary usage is Safari and at a low third is music, mainly in the car.
I may be the exception that proves the point though...
