Well, it's more the difference between a swiss army knife / leatherman and a Wusthof chef's knife. Yes, the former have a ton of more features but if I'm mainly going to cook, and I cook a lot, the leatherman's or the swiss army knife's blade is going to be an annoyance (even though it's great for occasional use). Obviously, I'll choose the specialized device. That's basically the advice I give to my friends who ask me about the Kindle. If you read a lot, it's a great investment but if you don't read much, you'll be wasting your money.
