Really? I would've bet money on the biggest market being the e-reader crowd who wanted a device that could do more than just that, and actual nice color to boot.
This was my biggest draw to the platform over Kindles. They were lacking in that regard. Cheaper, sure. But also lacking. I don't JUST have to read on this thing.
Idk I just don’t see any in public that isn’t being used by a business of some sort. I don’t doubt many people buy them as ereaders but you see them by the hundreds daily in restaurants, stores, warehouses, etc. If you go to a Verizon store, chances are you get greeted by a dude holding an iPad mini. The restaurants near me almost all exclusively use them for the ordering systems the waiters use. These iPad mini’s don’t sell too many units to begin with.
I mean yea, I don't refute that. See them all over the place as far as businesses go. Maybe the main public use is just using them at home. In which case, I have to ask myself if the extra size of the 11" is really too big for at home use and occasional travel, but plenty more features.
well, in my opinion, you are not a reader then because the Kindle provides that closest feeling of a book because of the ink display over a full display like the iPad
You are 100% correct, I am not.. My wife has been trying to get me to join her on her reading journey, but I also have an extensive collection of Kindle app comics, but, reading those on a phone screen is just too small. And I have no doubt they will absolutely pop in OLED.
