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.
Ok, did you not see the other posts slamming those who like the extra features?Oh, its all because that poster was agreeing with you. Gotcha.

Calling someone stupid because they enjoy being connected isn't insulting? Putting a little smiley face rolling its eyes in response to a post about liking the wifi in hotels isn't rude?Wow, the selective reading that occurs here is amazing.
