Actually I made that very point in another thread. It should be "pull" rather than "push" with a full disclosure of feature changes and bug fixes so the consumer can choose whether they wish to alter their machine by 'updating'. After all it was sold as a 'finished' consumer device was it not (as opposed to a beta product with a promise of updates)?

A tablet would doubtless offer greater reading client flexibility and might work for you. But I want the closest thing to reading a real book plus excellent battery life which only an e-ink screen device can offer (just not the Touch it seems )
