Ah technology. Through all my years of having a computer they have become quicker, smaller and cheaper. But, what I did on a computer 10 years ago is no different to what I do now, I just need a faster PC to handle the increased size of all the applications.
I look at ereaders and think, what could they possibly change? Ok, they could increase CPU, but looking at the current Kindle (and other pearl screened readers) page turns are all but instant, and ok, it takes 2-3 seconds to open a book, big deal!! How often do you open a new book? Not that often so 2-3 seconds isn't that big a deal. Do ereaders need to do more than offer someone ease of accessing and reading their ebooks? Well any more than that and one starts to cross the line of multi purpose devices.
Unfortunately I think the later ereaders are competing on price, so physically they are made and feel cheaper.
