By extension, if a device is capable of book reading AND Internet use, then ALL book reading devices must have Internet capability to be successful.

Another way of looking at it is as another example of "One size fits all" vs "Different strokes for different folks".
I, for one, have always been and always will be different from most people, and proud of my difference. Maybe wanting an "ebook reader" that's designed for you to "read ebooks" instead of "read webpages" (which I would call a "webpage reader", or a web browser) is one way in which I'm different from the masses. (Or, at least different from the masses of professional electronics reviewers.)
