R Stross muses in the 8 Aug 2010 NYT as to whether or not next-gen Kindles, as read-only implements, will be able to survive against the iPads of the future. She notes that iPad owners, in the first two months post launch, bought ca 2 1/2 books/machine, very competitive with Kindle’s sales of 3 books/user for roughly the same period. The Kindle remains more reader friendly than the iPad, and some consumers already own both, but the allure of the multitasking Apple may win out, consigning Kindle & its kindred to the device graveyard where dedicated word processors lay.
