It's not wanting "the planet" to my preferences but wanting an ereader to my and others preferences... if you browse here for a few years , you will find that there are at least two sets of wants - those who want a GOOD quality ereader and those who want something that includes ereading but will make the tea & toast as well.
Funnily enough (and contrary to your assertion) those of us who want a good quality ereader, are actually prepared to pay a premium for it... using your example, we don't want a build down to the Kindle range at Kindle prices... we'd like the Kindle prices but if it means keeping the quality then we'll pay more for it... and that's a premium device, not necessarily the bells & whistles you stuff in it...
