For yourself, it seems that it isn't the definitive reader. You may already have yours, or it may be something that hasn't been invented yet.
As with anything, "definitive" is highly subjective to each person, as well as time. What might have been the best years ago is no longer the best as technology marches on.
However, I have stated that this is, for me personally, the definitive ereader for what I want it to do - and that is to mainly read novels.
I prefer the narrow column for reading over the normal wider ereader designs.
I don't carry a bag and it is not warring for space with my phone/wallet/keys (which are my essentials).
The screen is multifunctional, so it doesn't just read books, it extends the functionality to go above and beyond a normal reader.
I can use the Kindle app and another ePub reader on the same device and they work very well without silly hacks, cracks or hassle.
For a quick dip in large pdf tomes on the other hand, the Yotaphone is powerful enough to search and navigate around large PDFs quickly, read and if needed, keep alive on the eink screen indefinitely.
Granted, if I want to read something of a technical nature for an extended period that has pdf pages approaching A4 size, I will crack out my M96, because the phone screen size will not be enough for prolonged periods of reading, neither will my 6" Kindle and my 7" Onyx T68.
So, yes, to summarise, for me this is the definitive reader. No other device has come close to being my definitive reader before.
