I love reading digital books on my cellphone (HTC Touch), would never use anything else. Who wants to carry around an extra device or something huge like an iPad or Kindle?

I thought competition was supposed to lead to lower prices. Why is it in the technological market prices tend to go up rather than down no matter how much competition there is and no matter how big the market is?

Dedicated e-readers may be doomed, but I doubt they will be obsolete any time soon. E-readers have major benefits that cellphones don’t have. A cellphone is fine for very basic casual reading, but not for anything else. Anyways, all technology we have right now will eventually be obsolete. Even the cellphone could start dying out if a new technology was put on the market a few years from now. Still, the basic concept of a cellphone or e-reader won’t disappear even if it takes new form.

when a device can switch between “page-like” screens and regular screens the stand alone e-reader will be obsolete.

Within the decade, all this technology will be contained within a single sheet of plastic transparency so that we’ll be reading entire books off one (literal) page.

There will always be a market for separate e-readers so long as there are actual readers — I mean by that, human beings who can actually read.

Reading all your books on a telephone is basically for a non-literate society.

Hmmm, maybe e-readers don’t have a future after all……

iPad is just hype. You can’t even multi-task. The browser doesn’t even support Flash.

iPad is just for the masses, something shiny.
