Which would be horrible since the Reader stays on for an hour after your last page turn if you don't switch it off on purpose -- you're reading, put the reader down to go answer the phone, get involved in a conversation of some length, sit back down and continue reading the page, thinking it's 30 minutes or so earlier than it really is.

I figure it's just as easy to look at my watch or a clock or the vcr or the microwave or any of a dozen time-sources.

I don't need one on the reader -- if it's user removable, I wouldn't mind it as long as it wasn't programmed instead of them spending time on things I consider more important such as a way to move through a multiple-page list of books in larger increments than one page at a time.
