Like Desert Dog, my addiction is product specific: I replace phones when they don't work anymore, and think a 5 years old PC is new (not to speak of cars - the last one lasted 15 years).
But I bought my first ereader (a Sony PRS-T1, given away since) in October 2011, then the T2 in September 2012, then the Glo in April 2013 (to be given away next Saturday), the Aura HD in May 2013 (wouldn't have bought the Glo if I had heard the HD was coming out), then, after long vacillating, the plain Aura (I'm disappointed in the screen, pleased with the shape and weight). I want a backup, especially if away from home for a week or more, and it's easier with a very similar device (firmare and use and available space, and sync facilities).
And I'd buy any significant improvement on the aura HD, whether screen quality, size, weight and/or holding comfort (for me the glo is the best for that). Considering I read 2 to 5 hours a day and I have problem eyes, and arthritic hands, I feel absolutely no need for rehab, even though my last buy is a bit disappointing.
Signed: an addict with no guilt.
