I have to agree with you, Lester. For some things, a simple reader is preferable. That is my want, for the most part. Just a simple reader, with no frills, except for a few needings. Wifi, 3g, touchscreen, keyboard...these things are unimportant to me. They are simply extravagances that I do not with to pay for.
The ability to replace a bad or broken battery, the ability to increase my storage by simply carrying SD cards (card for music, card for fiction, card for classics from MR, Google, Gutenburg). This I like, and was helpful in finding my personal choice.
You are also correct in Firmware, which is the main reason I have not purchased a Kindle or Sony. There are formats that I currently have that they do not support. However, I am not knocking those who purchase either device. I cannot speak for them.
