If anything, people should emphasize to them that it's not just them, it's often the design of the devices, which is just plain bad... and you don't blame them for not wanting to figure out how to deal with a bad design.

Yep. I'm actually pretty impressed with the Sony Reader UI -- simple intuitive and really no need for a manual. Of course they have been doing this consumer oriented interface stuff for decades.
Love the new sig Steve.
