Quite. It's not about the battery life, JSWolf notwithstanding -- that's "effectively forever, get surprised when it runs out of power" just like all e-ink Kindle models. It's all about the ergonomics. If you want one-handed operation and can afford it, go for it! In my case it cost about what I spend on books in two or three months, my existing PW1 was visibly ageing, I liked the look of the ergonomics a great deal, and I had an old birthday present of £100 towards a new Kindle to spend anyway, so I leapt at it: I always bought a cover to go with new Kindles so it wasn't even particularly overpriced.
Others might well have different priorities. This doesn't mean they're wrong (though of course it does of course mean they are *evil* and probably planning to destroy the universe in the next book).
