Nearly 95 Percent of e-Reader Owners Are Happy With Their Devices
*I* am in that 7%.

Let's see if I can explain why:

1. None of the e-readers I own, whether dedicated, as the Kindle 2, or general-purpose, as my Gateway Core 2 Quad desktop, brings me flowers.
2. I've never been taken to a movie by any of my e-readers.
3. Not one of my e-readers has surprised me by cooking a romantic, candle-lit dinner for us.
4. None of them can translate my favorite ebooks into Klingon - and adequately render them as speech - on the fly.
5. None of them function as: Star-Trek style transporter; 3-D printer; spot-and-stain remover; convert to a flying car.

So yes, I *am* dissatisfied with the current crop of e-readers!
