Yes, but no other company has the tendency to downgrade their products as often as SONY.

The new PRS T1 is a step-down compared to the 950. Smaller screen, no 3g, separate stylus, no metal casing...

Kind of what they did with the ps3 - stripping down features to make it cheaper and cheaper.

That is what irks people. Replace it with a superior model... no-one will complain. But when you replace it with something which is no better, and arguably worse...
