It's not "complaining" to say an eReader is not in your price range. It's just a statement of fact. I can't justify paying $200 for an eReader, nor do I want to. And yes, the buttons (for me) make it more desirable than the Paperwhites or the Touch. But I would have to see how well I liked the "flat face" and front light before I bought one -- even if I was willing to justify spending $200 for an eReader. I haven't had much luck with front lights, so this one needs to be clearer than what I've seen in the past. Maybe the automatic "dim control" (whatever it's called) would make this better for me because, in the past, I found myself constantly worrying over and trying to adjust the light's brightness.

At the very least, I think the release of the Voyage and the response to it should dampen the "eReaders have been superseded" sentiment.
