Mike, you are wrong because your argument includes a false implied premise. Let's agree that you are not a high volume reader and that most people are not high volume readers. But lets debate whether the smaller number of high volume readers will abandon the Kindle eInk tablet for a back-lit multi-use tablet. My household has a Kindle, and also has the Kindle application installed on a laptop, desktop, iPhone and Android phone. I am a high volume reader and prefer the 6-inch Kindle eInk model over any of these alternative platforms because of the physical comfort of holding the device, and ease of reading eInk. The device is lighter because the eInk uses much less power than an LCD or other backlit display. The Kindle is purpose built for reading having convenient click buttons for page turning that are part of the frame - better than tapping. The iPad mini will not be a purpose built ebook reader and will be inferior to the Kindle eInk tablet for the purpose of reading books. High volume readers, who know the important features, will choose the Kindle or similar eInk reader. Amazon gives its readers a choice now with the Kindle Fire, which is not eInk, and the eInk Kindle models. The latter continue to sell well.
