I couldn't work out why anyone would invent something so excessive until I talked to some Americans and found out that their wall sockets don't have switches (like the UK and New Zealand, the only places I've lived).
Seriously people, electrical switches are simple, cheap and reliable. On the wall or on the a power strip its a much better idea than constantly unplugging things.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
