Believe it or not I think the people who want nothing but a text reader are in the minority. Thus a keyboard is very necessary, whether that keyboard is virtual via the nook or real via the kindle, thats another matter. Right now most e-readers have some sort of annotation and search which definitely requires keyboard.
Some of us are hoping e-readers will morph into star trek data pads. I would be utterly satisfied with my first gen nook if they had better book organization (folder support, my library same as my B&N library, search) and note taking outside of book annotation. Second gen im hoping they are add a few more features like email and such. Eventually we will get color e-ink touch screen devices that could rival current gen ipads (not talking computational power, just visual clarity, battery life, etc).
