Thanks! That makes sense. I can see how the demo and assistance features could be helpful. Perhaps it will help more people be less intimidated by non-wireless ereaders. The people I know that are not tech-savvy or don't have a computer at home have gone with a 3G ereader like the Kindle. Maybe I should stop by my store and see if they have changed their ereader area recently. In the past it has been unmanned and none of the sales people were really familiar with the products. Usually I am the only one in the cafe with an ereader. Most everyone else has laptops doing work or college studies. I will say though that the first ereader I purchased was the Sony PRS-500 at Borders in 2007 when I was traveling out of town. I just knew from the display that I had to have it!
