I was trying to say why I don't think the ipad will replace e-book readers but I also think the e-book readers need to be much cheaper to replace printed books so yeah it was two thoughts. I wasn't talking about any specific e-reader I was at Walmart today and saw a Sony one for 179.00 I think so yeah they are already cheaper than the ipad but they are too much to replace printed books.

The beach example is exactly what Will Smith said 250 or 500 dollars never would take it but 50 you would.

So to summarize I don't think the ipad will replace e-readers but I don't think e-readers will replace printed books until the price drops a lot and maybe not even then smile.
