BigWaffles - thanks for that, absolutely captures my feelings on the matter as well. All I want in an e-reader is, exactly as you say, a long battery life and an easy-to-read screen (as near as real paper as possible).
Good that people who want more are being catered for, but I would be concerned that internet connectivity, LCD screens, video facility etc will become the accepted norm (just look at mobile phones as an example; did you hear anybody tell you how good the reception on their phone was lately? No, it's all about number of megapixels on the camera, apps available, etc etc. All good stuff, but it's a phone for Christ's sake!)
