   What numbers over how many years. . . .

the only fair way is "since made available for sale".

but who needs to be fair?

let the sony/kindle/nook/whatever dedicated machines (even palm and rocketbook!) have their huge head-start in time...  because even with it, they've fallen far behind.

   By the way, I like my cooked fowl with a little spine.

cook it however you like!  if you can catch it, that is...     :+)

   Who was it that predicted this whole cellphone thing?!

so why are you backing off it now?

a cellphone that's also being used as an e-reader is -- by definition -- a multipurpose machine...

...

   By when you you think iPad will have half the market?

oh, now you want to make it just the ipad?  ok, no problem.

...

   Just counting eReaders, which is to your advantage.    Even just counting Kindle, Noon and Sony???

you've already lost.  80 million versus 3 million.

   I don't mean some fake "market" narrowed down in    some small portion of space-time, I mean the grand total.    Pick a date!!!

"since made available for sale"...

1-year-out vs. 1-year-out, 2-years-out vs. 2-years-out, etc.
