Poor functionality.
I will try anything within my price range just to see if I like it. (I paid almost $400 for my first Sony and still love it), but I have bought 4 ereaders for myself since and returned them all because they didn't work well consistently.
I prefer the Sony to the kindle 3 I bought my mother but the kindle 3 is very nice too. My mother, who is 86, prefers the kindle 3. She was dead set against it when she got it in the mail, but now wouldn't part with it.
While I have had minor problems with the Sony and had to return my mother's kindle for a replacement but mostly they just work.
Page turn flashes? Well if I concentrate then I notice them, but less intrusive than turning a page on a large book or even a paperback and they have never caused me to drop the book and lose my place when reading one handed in bed.
