That alone makes the device worthwhile, for somebody.

And one of those somebodies would be ME. I don't want to replace my powerful desktop, but I want to enhance it with something portable, and if that reads ebooks too, in color, and does pdf's and comics well too, well, all I can say is BONUS! I don't like reading on laptops, I've tried it. I want a tablet form factor. Cords don't bother me (every comfortable place to sit or lie down in this house has a convenient outlet), I very seldom read outside, heat doesn't bother me (on ANY front, including sterility issues, LOL - another kid would kill me), and I can read on an LCD just fine. Not that I don't adore my EZ Reader, I do. But it does, unfortunately have some limitations.
