To each his own -- I am not that frugal if I really like something. If you are the "my car gets me from A to B" type of guy, that is fine, of course. I just feel differently about it. I would rather buy nothing that buy something just because it is cheap.

For me, cars are just transportation and tech is just a tool. I want both to work reliably and with the least amount of trouble, though, and I'm willing to pay accordingly.
I tried out a couple of Nooks because I was buying a gift for a pre-teen reader. His needs differ from mine. For my needs, I'd rather go without a tablet and wait for something better, instead of getting a Nook.
