The Case For The Dedicated E-Reader: When It’s Time To Go Off The Grid
With the advent of the iPad and the plethora of cheaper Android tablets that are due to flood the market over the coming months, there's an increasingly popular theory in the tech industry: the days of the dedicated e-reader are numbered.
Last week we published the latest forecasts from Informa
Telecoms & Media analysts that said as much. Sales of 'smartbooks' (a loosely defined term) are expected to grow from 3.65 million in 2010 to nearly 50 million in 2014, or over 50% of all embedded device sales. The losers will be dedicated e-readers, such as the Amazon Kindle or Sony Reader, and the winners, multifunctional portable devices like the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The reasoning - and it's convincing - is that e-book content is now available on most multifunctional devices like mobiles and tablets, and work well enough as book readers, while having other functions.
