Very good points Nate. We will soon be facing a large cull as consumers choose which readers will survive. It's a little dangerous because if you choose poorly, in two years you could have a reader with no support (drivers/updates).

I guess the safest way around this is buying from one of the megacorps like Apple, Sony, or Amazon. At least those guys will continue to provide drivers/updates to the products long after the end of a product line. A small niche compny might just disappear off the map. I like supporting the little guy but it might be dangerous!
