So why should you provide all this in a e-reader as well, if the main thing you are looking for is the e-ink display?

People have very high expectations when it comes to eReaders. People shunned the iriver Story HD due to it's supposed lack of features, when it was a fully functional device with EPUB and PDF support and SD-Card slot, plus the high res screen as stand alone feature 1-2 years before it became mainstream.
The only argument for the txtr beagle is the cheap price - if txtr can actually hold that promise, which is doubtful. If it's a picture frame at the price point of a fully functional ereader (either to be paid up front or through the mobile carrier contract), I just don't see how it can succeed.
