Not for everyone. Even if we were comparing apples to applies, say, a $50 ereader to a $150 ereader, I see a very real difference. Not to be too obvious about it, but I see a 300% difference. That's three times the other stuff I'd have to choose between, three times longer saving up if I had to replace it, etc.
It's different with sunglasses, though. They are something that affects your visual acuity, eye health, eye strain, and I would not want to skimp there.
Plus it's part of your style of dress and personal aesthetics, and that has a psycho-social effect even beyond simple vanity.
Skipping a steak dinner to buy an ereader? I'd have to think about it.
Skipping a steak dinner for quality eyewear? No hesitation at all.
