What I've come to feel is that I just care less about it all now, the technology I mean. When it first all began, it was a bright shiny thing that caught my attention for many years, like pretty much everyone here who found this site looking for ereader discussions. I was invested in the developments and variety and wanted to try different things and see what I could most get out of an ereader.

The last few years, however, since I've got my Voyage, I just stopped caring. Perhaps if the market were still as innovative as before I'd be more invested still, but it's not. I've found I'm very happy with the ereader I have now. I know many around are gadget-holics, but I'm not really; I can be a minimalist actually. I even tried to get used to reading on phone/tablet so that I could ditch the ereader altogether but I like eink too much so one ereader stays. I just stopped worrying about the things that aren't perfect and decided what I have now is good enough for many years. Now I'm happy in my walled garden, now I don't take too many notes so not to fill up the ereader and slow it down like my Sony used to, now I don't bother with the internet connection except for the bookstore because it's too subpar and just use my phone for anything I want to look up in connection with a book I'm reading, now I've given up caring about colour eink, etc.

I would like a new Voyage to come out, or a new Oasis that has haptic buttons which I really love, but I'm in no hurry and know I might never get one and that's okay.
