Of course not. I just sometimes think about what a high-class problem it is debating which expensive fun toy to buy. I feel lucky to be where I am with what I have.

My point was mostly that I think it comes down to the cost/benefit analysis we all do when making buying decisions. I think that oftentimes people tend to pit the connectivity aspect of the Kindle against the Sony to justify that extra cash where, while I do not deny it's great and more a benefit than I had originally estimated in my purchasing decision, for many of us the big benefit was something else. Maybe it was the selection of the Amazon store. For me it was search and dictionary lookup.
