It's like the old adage "Keeping up with the Jones's".

Just because they have a new car doesn't mean we have to buy one.

Picture Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Clark Griswold kept putting more crap and more crap on his house to one-up his neighbor. Soon, I can foresee the newest e-readers with every possible conceived option. And you know what? It will no longer be an e-book reader. It'll be everything BUT.

What if you just want a simple Sony Reader that does nothing but read ebooks. You don't want to pay for wifi, nor for net-access, or auto-downloading books, inter-connected with your PS-3 and able to surf the web to check your mail.

Yet, if you want to purchase a new Sony Reader, you will be paying for the R&D used to develop those functions because that will be all that they offer. No more simple devices.

I know, I stretched it a bit with the PS-3 thing, but who knows what the future tech will bring? Link it with your PS3 and read on your 56" plasma screen.
