eReaders and tablets

We've had a chance to use many eBook readers and several tablet computers over the last few months and have come to some conclusions. Here are our conclusion:

Are they going to change the face of computing? Nope. People will still use laptop computers for the majority of their work. eReaders and tablets just don't have the horsepower and peripherals people need.

Are they going to change the face of book and newspaper publishing? Yes and no. The shift from print to digital has been going on for a long time and will continue for the foreseeable future.

Will they kill Netbook computers? That's up to buyers. Personally we'd rather use a Netbook than a tablet 90% of the time.

In our opinion eReaders and tablets have a real market and will work along side other computers rather than replacing them.  Most users will have a laptop, an eReader/tablet AND a smartphone. All have capabilities that the others don't.
