I don't let it drive me nuts. The important thing is that my eBook reader is right for me. We can't let ourselves get dragged down by the nay-sayers.
Whatever your hobby is, there's going to be someone criticizing it. I've got lots of hobbies.
Woodworking: "I do my drawers only with dovetails." or "Mortise and tenon is superior to dowel joinery."
Shooting: "Your gun is only a 9mm. I wouldn't trust it with my life."
R/C flying: "Your plane is only made of FOAM, while mine is balsa."
Driving: "Your car is a clunker, and takes a full 10 sec. to reach 60 mph."
Bicycling: "Your bike is heavy."
Chess: "You're only rated 1200? Oh...."
The best thing you can do is be secure in your choice, and reply with something like: "Thanks for your insight, but it works for me!"
