From my personal experience.

This Christmas I went on holidays. 8 days. From the moment I left my house till the moment I entered into my hotel - 18 hours. At least 2/3 of the time I was reading (the flight was 10h long, I didn't watch a single movie or TV show, I was ). I had no idea what type of electricity plugs they have in this country. Yes, I could investigate and find out and take the right adapter and my Sony power adapter (extra weight and cables)...but I didn't. I didn't need to waste my time and to worry about a non-existing problem. So, when I returned from holidays I still had 2 bars on battery meter. I didn't worry about getting stuck in the airport for a few hours or for a day? And for me that simple thing - I didn't have to worry - is one of the most important things, it is something I am willing to pay money for.

I appreciate the fact that there are different types of people. Someone likes Sony, someone likes Kindle. To each its own (c). I am just voicing my own preferences
