-- Wired: By contrast, e-book readers are good at basically one thing: Storing and displaying monochrome text and simple graphics. And that's why they are a win. I have a 15" laptop, a 10" laptop, a Sony Ebook, a G1, a 5.1mp camera and an MP3 Walkman. Each one has a niche and that's where I use it. I don't use the ebook as an mp3 player (though it can) and I don't want to hook up a keyboard to it (though I could). I use it to read books on the bus.
