Yes and don't buy a new pc because there's a better one tomorrow!

And that's the way of it in electronics. As soon as something new comes out, there will be plenty of like products. And as there is always something new coming out, why buy now? There will be something better next week...

I don't agree that it's always better to wait. I'd say it's better to buy a cheaper variety. Let's say you can get a reader for $150 now. Or you can wait for that brand new super-de-luxe, all-inclusive, 6-star reader in 6 months. Which will be $300. And then you buy it and decide it's not for you... While if you had bought it now, for $150, you would have saved money and time...
