Better quality? More responsive? Do you own a Kindle, or any book reader?
What exactly does it "not do particularly well"?
We would all like to see cheaper e-ink displays, and I"m sure they are on their way.
In the meantime, if you are a serious reader, there is nothing lacking in the current crop of readers. They are first and foremost book readers, and the Kindle is also a downloader.
Kindle and other book readers are indeed ready for prime time.
We can't help it if prime time isn't ready for them. Perhaps they are too busy watching TV, or playing video games.
humph!
