Furthermore when I have the option I'd rather read off e-ink and browse/email on lcd (because it's colour and because it's faster).
I don't want marketing companies to justify jacking up the price of ereaders by convincing people they need features that are made redundant by devices that I and the vast majority of people already own and/or have access to when they need them... Devices that already perform these functions better than an e-ink reader ever could.

I totaly agree with you!! I'd rather pay the extra $ for build quality rather then extra functions such as text2speech or alarm clock, speakers etc.. instead of all those extra functions you could have a quality e book reader that lasts a long time and you enjoy holding in your hand, hench my choice in favour of the sony daily
by the way, ive used the browser once, and then only to explore the feature
