I love both sides of it - simple reading and the tech side - but time constraints and fear keep me from trying anything daring with the Sony Reader other than the simplest of format conversions.
Like many others, I won't jump on tech just for the tech lust alone. It needs to have a purpose because I don't have the budget to get tech just for tech's sake.
Similarly, when young and full of free time, I would jump on the development side of a computer or calculator or one of those old Radio Shack / Sharp one line "pocket computers", or design and build various kinds of electronics circuits. But I would only do it for those things that I cared about. To improve something, or do something that you couldn't do "out of the box", or do something that I couldn't afford to buy commercially.
