i think the world has now pretty much figured out that
the kindle "versus" the ipad is apple "versus" orange --
both can survive and thrive, each off in their own niche.

but the _size_ of the niches is still an interesting topic,
especially as we move along the present into the future.

so here's an interesting set of charts:
>   http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/09/13/the-apple-branded-campus/

in the "e-reader/tablet" sphere, the piechart says that
48% of college students brought a kindle to school and
48% brought an ipad.  (the other 4% had a sony reader.)

so it looks like, at this point in time, for college students,
the ipad and the kindle have reached some form of parity.
