i didn't think those were particularly dumb. for example, when people ask me
Why don't you just carry a book?
i respond "because this way i don't have to decide what book to bring - and if i finish what i'm reading, i can choose which book to read next without having to go home or to a bookstore".
Why is the screen not color?
because it's easier on my eyes to read without color.
the printer question... well. that
was dumb.
i, too, feel like an ambassador for ebook readers, and i like that. i'm very happy to let more people know about these cool devices!

Why don't you just carry a book? ( i am, hundreds )
Why is the screen not color? (because most books are not you fool)
Can i watch videos on it? (no, again its an e book reader not a dvd player)
Why does it not have unlimited memory? ( 512 on board is good for hundreds of books and 4gb sd card for thousands, why would you want more?)
Can i get the bible on it? (how the hell would i know?!)
Do i have to download books for it? (no, just shove your paper books through the sd card slot!)
and my favorite! this was a real question asked just yesterday
Does it have an inbuilt printer? (i did not even bother answering that one)
do you have any amusing questions from stupid people when they see your e reader?
