A tablet will simply never replace the Kindle and other readers like it such as thins article suggests. One of the most important feature of the Kindle is that it uses E-Ink! It holds a particular screen and only uses charge to change the text when a "page flip" occurs. A tablet will not come remotely close to matching this kind of machine in battery life or readability (since e-ink is less harsh on the eyes than an lcd). I think people comparing the Kindle to the mysterious Apple Tablet is getting out of control. If Amazon would just lower the crazy price tag on the kindle it would spread like wild fire..... I am anxious to see what apple does with tablet tech though. I own a tablet already and if apple can make a better one for cheaper I would consider switching.
