I'll never get this type of argument.

If you live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a computer, you are not Amazon's target customer. In fact, that person has probably never heard of the Kindle or maybe even Amazon.

You may be a "real" reader but Amazon wants people who will actually buy books from their store, not carry around 2,000+ books on multiple SD cards. What is the draw of having that many books on hand? Do you bounce around from book to book depending on how you feel?

Also about the Cybook Gen3, Bookeen doesn't have to worry about trying to fit wireless gear onto their unit. Getting the Kindle from 0.8" to 0.36" is impressive.
