I'm quite happy with my Kindle (K1), but I think the guy has a point.

The screens on the current ereaders are too small for nearly any book that isn't a novel. Today's ereaders are not suitable for
  • Textbooks
  • Technical Manuals
  • Business Presentations
  • PDFs of 8.5"x11" pages
  • Etc.

Also, a color ereader would be great. There is a reason so many traditional books are color; they can provide information better than their black & white conterparts.
  • art books
  • travel guides
  • magazines
  • cooking books
  • children's books
  • etc.

One day I hope to have two devices. I want a big color ereader that can display just about anything, and I want a small ereader that I can fit in my pocket, so that I can carry around a couple thousand novels with me at all times.
