- michael_nielsen 17y agoIt will be. Not because it fails, but because it succeeds. The form factor is too close to existing devices - I think we'll see convergence with more general purpose devices, and the standalone book-reader will die out. (Of course, the Kindle brand might potentially live on.)
- pg 17y agoNot really. I think they'll be superseded by whatever little device people carry around to browse the web. E.g. the Apple tablet.
- andymism 17y agoThis is true for me. My Kindle2 has been gathering dust since I bought an iPhone. I wouldn't be surprised if others behaved the same way.
