It's not that at all. It's that I see people with a Kindle saying I want this or I need that and it turns out other brands of readers have those features. So my question is why buy a Kindle when what you want and/or need is not there but exists in other readers? ADE based readers have page numbers. Some ADE based readers have PDF reflow. So really it's a matter of if the features are not there, don't complain about them. Get a reader that has those features.

It's been said on MR many times. When you buy a reader, buy it for what it can do now and not what it might do sometime down the road. So buying a Kindle when you want/need features it doesn't have is silly. That would be like someone buying a Sony Reader and then complaining that it won't handle Amazon's eBooks.
