And 3) They are good quality eReaders. Not everything is black and white, nor does it help your cause to condescend to those who don't agree with you. (I will readily admit that things could be quite a bit different in New Zealand.)

Given that my "told what to buy" was about about people-who-need-advertising (i.e. against "So ... when you buy books, you buy them from companies that don't advertise? How do you even know they exist?"),
not people-who-buy-Nooks-or-Kindles, your line of argument appears to be completely irrelevant to my assumptions or beliefs.
I will admit to being probably less tolerant of advertising than most, but that does not mean that I think everybody less intolerant needs to be "told what to buy".
