I see the concerns but I think they are unfounded. My view comes from other technology, I don't even own an ereader yet. Look at phones you can get a cell phone that is basically a mini computer that takes pictures and heats up the oven for you before you get home. But you can still get just a dedicated cell phone that just makes calls (at a very low price). You can get a bluray player that plays everything you can throw at it, along with netflix and youtube etc. Or you can buy a bluray player and all it does is play dvds and blurays (at a very low price). Speaking of phones, look at home phones you can get them with everything and an enchilada but you can still get just a basic home phone (at a very low price). PC's, notebooks they are all like that. There is a high end with all the bells and whistles and a low end where the product just does what its supposed to. Cars, watches, TV's, car stereo's, GPS, toasters, ovens, fridges, washing machines etc. It doesn't matter the product its all like this. This is what happens and its a good thing.

All new technology is like this. They will add all the bells and whistles to the newer models but you will still end up having new models of dedicated readers that do just ebooks and do it better than they do it now. And the great thing about all this is its going to bring the pricing down on those dedicated readers. 75/100 dollar ereaders that just do their job. 200/300 readers with ultra netbook functionality. This is a great time and this is a great thing.
