Not discounting the authors experience, as it mirrors mine to a large degree, but he overlooks the people for whom it is good enough. I think about my mother and my uncle. My uncle just wants a way to read the news, weather, or sports scores or maybe watch a second ball game on that while he watches another on the TV. For my mom, it's perfect as a frequent traveller. On the other end, my daughter is on her way to being a professional artist of some kind. She has done many illustrated novels of her own creation. It's absolutely the perfect device for her needs. While mine does collect more dust than it should, like others in this thread I've found it very handy for sheet music and recipes. I like to use it as a small TV when I'm cooking too. It's handy for lots of odd tasks.
