    Nonsense Paul. The e-reader marekt is hotting up in the US where these devices have been growing in popularity over the last three years. I am not commenting on whether we need them, just that they are popular as are downloads of products to read on them.

    “One million sold in 08 potential to sell 8 million in 09” found this on a blog, these are not sales but production figures for gadgets, a sales tool to suck in investors in the next big thing. There is no correct sales figures for e readers it’s all production numbers. the only true figures to come out was the better than expected profit for ipods today. Is this is nonsense, well maybe but who knows.
