Not to mention the pictures, movies, and documents I couldn't have sent or received and the fact that people don't always have time for you when you call but they always respond to e-mail when they get around to it.

Besides, why even go to work if you never enjoy buying anything new and better?

And as for the subject of this thread --- the people have spoken, they want cheap, not durable reading devices.
Yeah, I know I'm a rarity in this day and age. I send my emails from a PC; watch the movies that turn up on broadcast TV; don't travel much; have the cell phone mainly for emergencies or the occasional call to tell someone I'm running late, etc. And I want a durable reading device! My job doesn't pay enough for me to be constantly buying new equipment.
