They are a first device to make people actually try reading an e-book. No extra cost is needed. You just download an app or use a browser. Since they recognize all the merits of an electronic book, they'll turn to bigger devices. This doesn't mean when I get a tablet I'll stop reading on a cellphone. No. With books going to cloud we'll really appreciate the comfort of accessing our personal libraries from a couple of devices. When it comes to decisions it's more about tablet vs eReader fight. Cellphones? We have them always with us. It would be just stupid not to add an e-reading capability. Mobile phones play important role in the evolution of reading.
