The thing is that what a good e-book means to you may not be what a good e-book means to someone else and you can both be right. An e-book is a consumer device. It will either satisfy consumer desires or be replaced by another device. The reason he/she did not buy another device is probably because there are few if any other devices that match the Reader in the marketplace. This will hopefully change soon.
I love my reader and have truly enjoyed using it. I take it with me everywhere. However, if Sony does not improve the file system and the PDF handling, as soon as a better device hits the market I will seriously consider switching. Ad a search feature and some kind of built in lighting and I wont even have to consider the issue.
