I appreciate the comment about travel to Africa, but most people who would be in the market for an ereader would not face this situation very often. I am too lazy to go back and find the quote, but I agree with Nevermind's previous comment about battery life. I hear similar things about batter life on cell phones. I just need my battery to last until bedtime, and I can plug in over night. A 2-3 day battery life is handy in a pinch, but even when I am traveling I usually charge my devices nightly.

I have never understood why people would want a browser on their reading device. Are we talking about a browser that would go to any ebook store, or are we talking about a full browser? Do people want to use their reader to check email or get on facebook? I would never want to do that on an eink screen. If that's what people want from a browser then an ebook device is not a good fit for their needs. Is that what's on the table, or have I misunderstood?
