Does anybody actually use Kindles or Nooks any longer? There was a brief period, a while back, when a device dedicated to the storage and reading of eBooks seemed a coming thing. Amazon sold Kindles and Barnes & Noble stepped up to the same plate with Nooks. (And, true confession, I bought a Nook, which is stored away somewhere because I don't like throwing things away.) But laptops and tablets are cheap and small. One can use them for reading eBooks and for a lot more as well. There doesn't seem to be a market niche for dedicated eReader devices. My impression is that the market for such things has faded away. I have done no research on the subject at all, though. Readers should feel free to set me straight on this.
