Well, if that's the way you feel about it, then I think the answer is that you shouldn't
The whole point here is to get folks a solution that works for them. If you already have one, and genuinely don't see an advantage to changing it, then don't change it.

I know you're talking about the iLiad, but let me point out that the Sony Reader does a good deal of what you're looking for. The display is smaller than the iLiad, and you do have to charge it closer to every 3 weeks, rather than 4, but still. I also don't know where you're located, so I don't know how easily accessible the Reader might be for you, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
