I don't actually upgrade. I just buy new technology because it has a feature that I need and continue to use the old stuff.

I prefer buttons to touch screens. The software seems to get confused if I do two actions too closely together. Plus a lot more memory is involved - you have to remember all these swipes and dabs with the touch screen. Probably not a problem for most who use only one reader.

Ipods are much harder for me to resist upgrading.
