I must admit it puzzled me a bit, but then remember that this is solely about hype - ie the coverage of new devices/services tends to be adulatory until it reaches a point of saturation, and then the negative stories and views start appearing. This process often bears no relation to commercial reality or even adoption. In this case, also, Gartner might have been anticipating that the release of Apple's iPad - a launch that has been in the rumour mill for some time - would be a big negative for e-readers. Thanks for your reply! That’s Gartner’s assessment, Pradip.

I liked the way you have classified the rising star, in a black hole and back on the chart. However I would be interested in knowing why exactly the e-book readers are under the black hole category. With so much of activity going on in this area especially. I would have imagined it to be classified under the rising star category. Even the Digital World that is to be convened in NY has been posting raving reviews about the e-readers and the way it is going to change the entire reading experience. I would look to hear from you your views. Cheers Pradip I read this article which is interesting. I liked the way you have classified the rising star, in a black hole and back on the chart.
