Perhaps the doorways should be widened.

Because for their readers it probably represents best of breed...top sales...and biggest mindshare?

They do the same thing with tablets (always mentioning the iPad).

I think it gets good buzz from it's users too. Thats probably the biggest thing. Its a good device (no, I don't own one anymore).

Well look at that! Harper Collins is realizing that ebooks are here to stay. Say it ain't so!!

As a heavy book buyer, I take offense to Harper Collins' mockery! I'm organizing a protest! Who's with... Oh! A donut!
