No one has a fully functional crystal ball yet (the technology is still in it's infancy)! It's just supposition on each of these writer's part...who, I might add, most likely are
not regular users of reading devices. Folks will write what they will, but dollars are the only thing that really talks. The bottom line...profit & loss will determine whether or not dedicated reading devices will flourish.
My suggestion...just keep buying those readers, guys!!!! We can prove them wrong if we continue adding to our collections...keep the economy moving!!!!
