I’ve been through all this before, with musical instruments, so I no longer try and wrap it up with fantasies about ‘free gifts’ in order to justify owning more than I actually strictly ‘need’.
Just re-badge yourself as a Collector or Enthusiast and give yourself permission to buy more than one. Reassure yourself that you’re ‘stimulating the economy’ and helping protect some dude’s job somewhere too.... Think of all those worthy but struggling technologies that could fold up if you don’t support them by buying their gear.... Guilt re-packaging seems to be working for me anyway.
So I fully expect to keep saving and buying several new reading devices yet - whilst recycling some of the older ones to technologically deprived friends and acquaintances.
Currently, I'm thoughtfully eyeing off iRex iliad, Kindle DX, Asus T91MT netbook, and of course iPad, Courier etc. Who knows which if any I’ll buy, but I have the strong feeling that the fun’s just beginning.
