Excellent example of quality improvement.
Nowadays here in the U.S.A, I think most people buy a new car because they are bored with their old one - not because of necessity.
I had my first repair, not maintenance, bill on my car with 110,000 miles - $28. That's a quality improvement I can live with.
With ereaders, I bought my K4 for the smaller form factor - not because there was any problems with my K3.
