Actually anyone who's primary format is PDF would like this reader with several weeks battery life instead of about 10 hours and even if a new iPad were lighter than the old one it would still weigh more than 50% higher and apps are not necessary for some people who can use a different device for that sort of thing and many schools would applaud a device that doesn't run games when the student should be paying attention.

There are lots of different people and they don't all have to like the same thing.
