Ereaders have been evolving and as they evolve, offering a better and wider reading environment, most of us want that new offering.
The problem is that the makers of e-readers do this intentionally so that we constantly consume more e-readers. You can replace e-reader with any other gadget in the previous sentence. It's no accident that new e-readers, smartphones, tablets, etc. come out every year. I admit that I fall into the same trap. I brought my iPod Touch when I didn't really need another iPod at all. The iPod Nano (which my niece now owns) was and is working perfectly fine. Now, I'm committed to keeping my iPod Touch until it dies. The same with my Sony 350. Yes, the Sony T1 has features that my 350 doesn't have but do I really need to grab the T1? They both allow to read epubs and e-books from the library. I mean to be honest, I didn't need the 350 so why should I buy the T1?
