We bought our eReader to read books, that's why we got it... we don't want to read on our computers, telephones, watches or any other damn gadget, we have an eReader to read on. We could care less about the Sony bookstore, there's a world of free and paid-for books out there without ever going near Sony and some of us actually like libraries and supporting them. We don't want Wi-Fi, 3G or any other wonderful connectivity and certainly don't intend to use a Web browser... we want to READ books, anything else we use a computer or other device for... 
I appreciate that many other people do want lots of these things and don't look at things the same way, that's fine, everyone has their own needs and is entitled to their own opinion... but don't tell us that what you want is what we want... it isn't!  |
I totally entertained the thought of a reader with net access and browsers and games and all that jazz, but when it comes down to it, I am almost always within range of a computer and if not it's for short periods of time. I was more interested in a reader that worked well for reading, had good reviews and expandable storage. My 650 has not disapointed me yet.
I have been entertaining the idea of a pocketbook IQ but not as a reader, just as a toy.
