Steve Jobs talks down Amazon Kindle, Google Android

http://techreport.com/discussions.x/13947

"It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don't read anymore," Steve Jobs asserted when discussing the Kindle. Mentioning a statistic that says 40% of Americans read one book or less last year, Jobs added, "The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore."

But that means 60% of Americans do. Steve Jobs is a dumbass. He's not telling the whole story. That's like saying movie theaters are obsolete because 40% of Americans only go and see one movie a year. Does that statistic also account for people who read comics, etextbooks, magazines, etc?

I can just as easily say 40% or MORE people use a Mac one time or less a year. So does that mean Mac is obsolete too? There you go.
