Sheesh. I want some of you to go and have a cup of perspective tea.
To a number of people an eReader IS a crucial part of their life... people with physical and eye problems whose primary relaxation is reading for example... you may regard eReaders as toys but try reading a 1000 page hardcover when you have arthritis, a frozen shoulder or a broken arm and the eReader quickly becomes essential...
