I just hope this cookie-cutter mentality will start to dissolve once there's sufficient enough competition present. I'm tired of the mediocrity of ebook devices, and would very much like for some of this competition to lead to innovation or at least improvement. Seems that some manufacturers' idea of innovation is to add a webcam, external speakers, more pointless software, or more touch options to the same sluggish, ugly, badly-designed reader devices with bad screens. I hope that's not the extent of development with these things.
