Neither Kindle nor Nook reads html & rtf files; neither of them reads both ePub and mobi. Neither offers a device small enough to be comfortable & safe to fit into a large pocket or small purse and use with one hand. Neither supports folders. Both have wi-fi that drains batteries, and allow another company access to your reading material.
The EZReaders aren't perfect, but they do offer a number of features that aren't available from Amazon or BN. Some of those features are important enough to some readers that they'll pay extra for them. Kindle & Nook come with access to bookstores, and some other features--but that's not important for some readers.
I don't care about wifi; I do care about .rtf support. I don't care about note-taking; I do care about fits-in-pocket.
I don't think my prefs are the only important one, but I don't want the market to move towards only one or two ebook devices packed with features I don't care about while ignoring the features I do.
