Q<\/strong>: Has your opinion of e-readers changed?<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>: I\u2019m sure there will always be dedicated devices, and they may have a few advantages in doing just one thing. But I think the general-purpose devices will win the day because I think people just probably aren\u2019t willing to pay for a dedicated device. You notice Amazon never says how much they sell; usually if they sell a lot of something, you want to tell everybody.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t see that it\u2019s a really big market at this point. And in the future, the more general-purpose devices will tend to win the day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure that Amazon, as an example, really cares that much about being in the hardware business. If I were Amazon, I\u2019d love selling stuff where I didn\u2019t have to have a warehouse, didn\u2019t need UPS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Translation: We\u2019re making a tablet, and eBooks will be a part of those.<\/p>\n

Jobs isn\u2019t saying Apple isn\u2019t interested in eBooks, he\u2019s saying that Apple isn\u2019t interested in making a stand-alone eBook reader. And they shouldn\u2019t be. While the devices will exist for a while, eventually the thought that this won\u2019t be a functionality wrapped into other devices is silly. Why carry around multiple devices when you can carry around one? That\u2019s kind of Apple\u2019s thing, isn\u2019t it?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
