What I don't get is how people always seem to point to some teeny-tiny segment of the reading universe to point out how eReaders are inadequate. People that are buying ereaders are buying them primarily to read novels. Straight text with no fixed page layout.
Nobody reads coffee-table books. They just sit on the coffee-table, which is why they are called coffee-table books. So you don't need an ereader for them.
I can't remember the last time I cracked the cover on a textbook. I can't be the only one. Anyways, wiki's and other hyperlinked content is probably better than traditional print for textbooks.
Magazines and newspapers are probably doomed. Why build an ereader to deal with a doomed format?
