If you can afford two e-readers that is true. If you are someone whose e-reader broke and you had the meny for one e-reader you have to deal with some different issues.

If you had a Sony that broke and you are strapped for cash, then the K3 looks mighty tempting. It is a good reader that is less expensive then the Sony 650. You could look at a 350 but if you prefer the 6 inch screen and are really strapped for cash, the $139 Kindle WIFI looks good.

Alternativly the cash strapped individual could get a Nook or Kobo and not have to worry about converstion either and would then be able to borrow books more easily from the library then they would with a Kindle.

I guess my point is that two e-readers is not always a possibility for some folks.
