Puts me in mind of a friend of mine (Travis by name) who went to get a cellular phone.
He said (and I quote), "I want a phone. I don't want to take pictures. I don't want to make appointments. I don't want to send email or text messages. I just want something that will let me input numbers that will connect me with someone on the other end of the line so I can talk to them. I WANT A PHONE."
For me .... I just want something to read. Not a camera, calendar, movie viewer, or digital butler. Something I can read. Having the capability to carry hundreds or thousands of books with me at one time ... that's more than enough magic for me.
