All other features it has (such as EDVO, buying books on the fly, wiki, internet) do not belong to ebook reader (at least if you have to pay for it by having keyboard and shorter battery life)- imho.

Although, you are right. It is only me who perceive Kindle this way. There are more than enough people who like it.

P.S. I repeat myself , so I quit this discussion
