I think that this has been a good thread... there have been many different opinions- 8) Well, why not?
I think that the true dedicated reader (or e-reader)... has moved to a slightly larger screen, and still is on an unconverged device - (that is my experience). I'm on a farm... and a small island- so I don't need to do GPS (I know where I'm going- in fact it's usually only 6km!) so I don't need that for my HTC Advantage, and only if I'm expecting a delivery- do I take my phone with me- so that isn't needed in the Advantage- But it is absolutely great with the 5" screen- and I've used a TrueVGA hack (that was recommended on forums), so I have control of even MSReader. I read on my UMPC laptop- or the Advantage, depending on where I am in the house, or car or ferry.... or waiting in the bank... and I don't have to worry about what the cover is showing about my preference- largely SF/ Fantasy. I passed my Axim to my son (I didn't think I'd ever), and the Advantage is my alarm, as well as my appointment reminder- if I don't enter it- it often slips by! :lol: All I could find of one book- was AAReader, and that I read on my UMPC- it doesn't work well on the WM6 platform-
All that to say that I'm a dedicated e-format reader (well, who wouldn't be if the trip to a decent bookstore is a all day affair?)
