They did it just to make you mad!

Seriously, when designing and implementing a product there are lots 
of considerations!  There are also numerous tradeoffs.  So, overall, 
while the Reader Mobile does seem to respond to come commands more 
slowly than the classic, overall it starts reading sooner -- so when 
you add together portability, price improvement, quicker overall 
reading, etc. it seems like a reasonable tradeoff.  In an ideal 
world, it would do this and that, and would be so expensive none of 
us could afford it.  But, by using off the shelf hardware, 
some  tradeoffs have to be made but overall we come out ahead.
