I've had every Kindle and the Sony 505, 600 and 300. Each one has had its issues. I didn't care for the first Kindle. I like the DX as a pdf reader but not much as a book reader. I love the 2d generation Kindle but it isn't as comfortable in the hand as the Sony readers. The Sony 505 screen went bad very quickly. The Sony 600 screen is a bit hard to see in some light and I don't much use the touch. The Sony 300 lacks the dictionary feature, which I love.
Still I don't care. I'm someone who reads over 100 books a year. I always have books (note the plural) with me. My house is inundated with books even though I dispose of them regularly. To be able to carry a couple dozen books around with me in a lightweight format and store them in the cloud or on my computer is heavenly. The limitations of each reader are nitpicks. I could say that pbooks are too heavy, I often don't like the font, they deteriorate over time, and they take up too much room.
I suspect that people who are heavy readers often just want to read, and most of the ebook readers on the market work fine for that.
