I agree. They're people who aren't comfortable with just googling for an answer, which is how many people come here. I found this place awhile back after I first saw the Sony Reader and started investigating it. My research showed me that it wasn't quite the device for me and, more importantly, that there were other options already out there and in the works. This involved taking the leap and looking at all sorts of sites that were dead ends and eventually finding a couple I found worthwhile to continue visiting. If I had not been comfortable doing this I may have just centered on manufacturer sites. It's my guess that's what many older and less web-comfortable people do. We have older people here but they seem to me to be a more adventurous sort.
