There is a point of diminishing returns on "upgrades". DVD to Bluray is a "maybe" IMHO, depending on the person. I'm mostly a "stick with DVD" person myself. Similarly, I've never found a reason to upgrade my 20 year old 5.1 surround system either. What are they up to now, something like 78 front speakers, 28 rears, 16 subwoofers, and 14 ceiling speakers? Something ridiculous like that. We've also got the 4K TVs now. And the picture is indeed amazing, if you happen to like to sit a foot and a half in front of a 80 inch screen (totally hemmed in by surrounding speakers).
That's why I enjoy reading books more than watching movies these days. And I'm perfectly happy with a 167ppi screen, although my Paperwhite beats that by a little. I bought the Paperwhite because it had a light when the basic Kindle didn't. Not because of the higher resolution. I can see the difference in the Paperwhite screen if I move in close enough, but then, my eyelashes brushing the screen accidentally turn the pages.
