That is exactly what they were doing. Gadget lovers don't mind a more complicated device, provided that convenience isn't sacrificed, but the average person wants a simple device. Right now Amazon has the easiest way out of any e-book device of purchasing content and putting it on the reader.

I also don't understand all the complaints about the battery. Anyone who owns a Kindle knows about the off switch for the EVDO. I turn it on when I purchase a book and turn it off when reading it. When off I find the battery life on par with my Sony PRS-500.
