There is a term for this: "tyranny of the majority". It's what leads to ergonomically pleasant things being insanely expensive, because people with (say) crippling RSI are a small market and so of course it is entirely reasonable to have to spend $1000 on a keyboard (like hell it is).
I'm very glad Amazon felt the need to come up with something suitable for people who don't like to (or cannot) hold nearly a third of a kilo one-handed indefinitely, and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop claiming that just because you don't want such a thing, most people don't want it, and thus it should not exist at all. What harm does its existence do to you, anyway? It can't be a simple hatred of a choice existing, or you'd not be so wildly in favour of the existence of any and all non-Amazon e-readers.
