Which ably illustrates my point. Right now, there is nothing unique to a dedicated reader that I need or want, because my PDA is a perfectly good e-book reader for me. And the cost is too high (for me) to justify making a spontaneous purchase. I will need another reason to want or need one.
Actually, as an author seeking to sell in the e-book market, if I conclude that obtaining a Sony Reader, for instance, would somehow improve my product, thereby improve my sales, and make me more money... the Reader would become a business expense or investment, giving me a good "want" reason. But we're talking about the consumer end of this, which is completely different.
