I don't have a cell phone. I don't have a television. I don't have a wife. I don't think anything is for everyone. I had an excellent reason for getting an ereader. I live in Mexico and prefer reading in English. For 14 years I read what I could find and not necessarily what I wanted to read. It wasn't horrible but it was limiting.

Now, I can read whatever I want. It's fantastic, for me. If you don't need or want an ereader, don't get one. And while you're at it, dump the television.
