I'm the opposite. I'm extremely willing to buy a two-year old tech toy, if it is extremely stable and does what it advertises. I would be more than happy to go back to a non-wifi, non-touch (D-pad) Kobo, as long as it could be as fast and as clear (newer-ish screen) as the current Kobo Touch.
Unfortunately, electronics companies are always touting their latest technology (look what we've added!... new and improved), and everything that came before (without the newest bells and whistles) gets left behind.
I don't need, the newest, the fastest, the most gigabytes. I just want the old and extremely sturdy, stable, and user-friendly.
