So in order not to be a Luddite, I should have to buy something I neither want nor need? Something which, in fact, given Amazon's demonstration that they can delete books right off your Kindle over its wireless connectivity, I would prefer not to have?
I guess I'm a "semi-Luddite", then. All these years as an early adopter don't matter ... it's all about letting the number of features (or misfeatures) a vendor chooses to pile onto a device (no matter how junky and cheaply made the resulting device might be, because the price matters too) determine my buying decisions, not my needs. Gotcha.
Hopefully everyone else can read the sarcasm here.
P.S. It's you accusing people of being Luddites because they have no need for wireless access from their ebook readers that we're upset about. That's rude and uncalled-for, and you knew it when you said it.
