I'm not at all sure that's true. For me the Voyage is pretty much the perfect eInk reader, which is why I've had mine for three years - by far the longest I've owned any reader. Many people here feel the same way about the Oasis. The fact that a device is too expensive for one person doesn't mean that everyone feels the same way, and to suggest that Amazon should be "punished" for producing it is frankly ludicrous.
