It's more just some of us aren't that on the go. I spend 99% of my time in the house or in my office. I hate the outdoors etc.

So battery life isn't a huge deal as I'm almost always near an outlet, and pretty much every device I have is long enough to last for the time periods I'm away from outlets (on a flight etc.) so it's just not a big deal to me.

Portability in general isn't very important to me. Portability didn't have anything to do with buying a Kindle. I just got one as I knew I'd read more if I didn't have to hassle with the library, or find ways to ditch paper books after reading them (since I rarely re-read anything etc.).

Just different strokes, for different folks. Some care a lot about portability, and place great importance on battery life. Others place less importance on that and would sacrifice battery life to have a device that can do more.
