I really like and believe in e-ink technology, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I also agree it is innovative by virtue of it being there. But my original point is that it hasn't evolved as much as it should have to cater for our needs. To make an analogy, it's the pc circa the 1980, when we were expecting it by now to have been the mac. I am sure sooner than later these devices will finally cater for most of our needs in a much better, fuller, way. But due to a lot of reasons mentioned by others here too, the wait has been disappointingly long for some of us.

I too am very bothered with moronic buzzwords on the net that put new clothes on an old concept, such as "web 2.0" and all that similar crap. But in terms of cloud computing I do think it's a paradigm shift and whilst the parts that make it up may be old the application (or better the potential application) adds up to something bigger that does warrant a new term. But I am not averse either to someone dismissing this term all together, the actual functionality is what matters and I think in many aspects it is important.

But then, i don't care. Amazon MP3 is so much better. Just a simple plugin, no laggy heavy software.
I live very well without apple, tanks you very much.

It's your choice to use linux, apple isn't supposed to support you in any os you choose. I can't put solaris on my machine and whine that apple isn't letting me access their store, as I can't park in Liverpool and whine how I can't access John Lewis on Oxford Street in London.
I am glad to hear you find amazon so much better. Choice makes everyone happy.
