This limits problems and allows you to retrieve your ebooks off the device in the event that your computer toasts or for transport. If this isn't making any sense to anyone else, sorry, I'm not sure it is making sense to me either. Mind you I really like the EBW and bought one for my son. It is just if they develop an eInk one that would be the one addition I'd like to see.. That and SD as opposed to SmartMedia.
Oh, I agree with all that. A new device should natively read formats and SD support would be a Good Thing. Those are both more important to me than eInk, actually, as long as the battery life is reasonable. I'd just as soon keep the cost low.

Why, thank you. What have you got there? A single-estate Darjeeling, I hope? Makaibari first flush? No, I take neither milk nor lemon. No sugar. Thank you!

Oh, we can't have that! Would you prefer apricot-cranberry, or apple-walnut? Here, let me toast that for you.

(I'm much more interested in tea with scones than either Eurovision or WWIII. Actually, isn't everyone? )
