What if you bought a nook and not long after found out that Kobo is better or that you bought a Kobo and changed your mind for a nook? Or you saw new a Sony you'd rather have or maybe Amazon got touch and ePub and did away with the keyboard and you wanted that?
Do you really want to rush in and buy something now with little to know information on the device only to find maybe you made a mistake? Let's stop and think for a moment. If you already have a reader, is it working? If yes, why do you have to then rush and get a replacement or a second reader without enough information? What is the reasoning behind jumping in with a blindfold on?
It's one thing if you don't have a reader, but if you do, it's silly to replace it with one you might not be happy with.

I'm not sure who you're responding to with your passionate post, but I agree it's better to wait and see, and quite frankly I think it's silly to proclaim that Sony Readers will still be superior compared to the upcoming Nook and Kobo models, based on our knowledge of the current Nook and Kobo models. Then again, I think it's equally silly to proclaim that Sony is going to be ground into dust by the proposed new functionalities and other qualities of these upcoming models. Can't really discuss constructively unknown tech specs and usability. What I don't think is so silly to discuss are other factors that might affect the competitiveness of the current Sony Readers, such as availability and cost, and which people have brought up in this thread just as much.
Also, it's possible to want, even covet something yet not actually choose to get it in the end. It's also possible to own multiple ereaders.
