I agree. If you have a movie you love on VHS, you might want to upgrade to DVD or Blue-Ray, but it is still easier to wait to get the device and DVD until it fits until your budget very well. If you can carry all your favorite paperback books now on your reader, then color improvements aren't nearly as big a motivator.
