I'm sure this will be a factor for some, but not for me. There is only one feature I want from my reader: being able to comfortably read on it. I have that already

Of course maybe there will be a killer feature some day that I just have to have, but I can't imagine which one right now.
Apart from the reader or the battery dying, the only reason I can think of to buy a new one would be being forced (by the market) to change to a new format that wouldn't be supported on my current reader.
