I understand your point about customization, although I am thinking that it will possibly happen.

I have no need to customize, I can and have done it with tablets etc. but on the reader I am happy just to open the book, find the book, have a whole pile of books on at once etc. and most importantly read the book without any glitches or undocumented features. I don't like a built in light particularly, preferring overhead lighting when necessary and the Sony cover light is reasonable on the rare occasion I need to use it.

I rarely browse on my reader(s) and would have to be hard up for something to do to play a game on it/them. So out of the box reliability and functionality is hard to beat in my book
