They are not pathetic, nor are they anything like a smart phone.
They are a niche item which people do pay for.
They are improving all the time.
People pay $200 every day.
If you don't like don't use them, but don't be calling them names.

Wow you are really taking this wrong. I use an e-ink reader myself, and only e ink to read books. Why do people assume that if anyone says the least bit critical thing about a product or product category, they must hate it or don't use it and don't know what they're talking about? On the contrary, I'm most critical of things I use and care about. The rest, I don't bother.
I was not trying to insult people, just pointing out something rather obvious.
Anyway, the answer is simple economics. Phones outsell dedicated readers by several orders of magnitude. That's the reason for discrepancy in pricing vs features.
