I have always appreciated the simple things, and Bookreaders are no exception.
I've tried many book readers which I since have passed on to relatives who like them. Not that they are bad, but they were too much of one thing and not enough of another.

I like the basics. I like being able to just stick books on a reader and read.

I bought my Kindle4 non-touch nearly a month ago, and I happily let go of my fancier e-readers in favor of this one. It's just so basic and does the jobs I want it to do! To me, it's my Holy Grail of e-readers!

While the newer models of Kindles keep things current and add new features and such, I really hope they keep with the simpler ones, too. Not only do they meet the budgets of those who have pondered e-readers as a "good idea" but couldn't justify the costs of some of them, but they are blindingly easy to use. I also very much prefer that a non-touch model stay, (one that can remain available in Canada such as the one I have now)

I think it's the only reader where registering wasn't a big song and dance, loading books onto it can be done in multiple ways, and it's just perfect for the basic needs of people who prefer the function of reading over everything. There are many people who aren't looking for "new features" and I am one of them. I like steady and reliable, and this is the first reader I have absolutely zero complaints about.

So I do hope the Amazon company will keep things going for the best of both worlds, the tried and true, and the new features which keep companies fresh and alive. There is a market for both.....
