I used to think an all in one would be ideal but now that I have my Sony reader I disagree. I like that it is compact with a leather book cover. It does its job very well, pages are easy to turn with a simple screen swipe and it feels like a book! I dont need color because that means i will read less books and more magazines and other printed media. Jonesing for the next tech when you are happy with what you have is not a good thing
