Thank you!

It all comes down to what you're looking for in a device. Everyone's needs are different.

I'm in total agreement with you, WT. Except I have to replace the word "Kindle" with "PB360."

Other than that ... your sentiment is exactly like mine.

Same for me, at least currently. My android tablet, laptop and main computer handles all that I require.

I'm happy as the proverbial clam with my iPad. Don't use it for reading ebooks, though. It's my truly portable recreational (as opposed to work) computer. I read newspapers, magazines (though it's odd how so many magazines haven't figured out the iPad yet) RSS feeds, watch some Netflix, surf the net &c.

The main reason not to buy an iPad is the cost.

Nice device.

I'm happy too, but mine in fact is my dedicated e-book reader. I thought of getting a Kindle but my reading style is read; look something up; go back to reading etc. So having a device that does both in one, runs my iPhone apps and all is divine. It's a beautiful device. I just got mine a few weeks ago. Held off all this time, and now enjoying it. Does all I need, and I use it every day as well as just for quick note writing at work too. Standby mode for instant on is so handy and battery life is great for such a colorful multiple use tablet.

I tend to get distracted by, well, the distractions on an iPad. Reading on my KDX helps me focus. Easier on my eyes, too. It's the same reason I continue to read pbooks. For all purposes save the bulk, my EBRs and my pbooks are the same thing. The iPad, for me, is my computer. In fact, I find myself reading the iPad at the dinner table, (before, during & after dinner) and the KDX in my easy chair in the living room. I'm going to have put a timer on the iPad in order to remind myself to get off the computer & into a good book.

HP is going after business with it now, but it's basically the same thing Ballmer showed at CES. They're taking orders for it now and I didn't know the damn thing still existed (was waiting on a WebOS-based version).

Device: SONY PRS-505 and Nook Color
I bought my Sony PRS-505 more than 3 years ago. It's an ereader and that is all I use it for and that is all I want. I can download from the library, mobileread, gutenberg as well as numerous online ebookstores. Wireless is nice but is plugging in the USB such a chore? I have looked at other devices recently and except for the Sony daily edition (7" screen) still find no reason to change. As for Kindle, I don't get why reviewers slobber over it. It doesn't support EPUB and I don't think I can download PDF DRM to it from the library. But it gets all the attention. IPAD is very nice if you want your e-reader to be a netbook sans keyboard and do everything else. I just want my ereader to be an ereader. And, I can stick it in my coat pocket. Try that with Kindle or IPAD!
