Reading multiple books at once, effective note taking, annotation, etc. -- the kinds of things you need to do when you aren't merely reading a novel. The kinds of things you need to do as a student or a professional.
They will come -- as apps -- on the iPad and forthcoming Android/Windows slates -- in time. And probably a lot sooner, and mature a lot faster, than on dedicated eInk readers.
In the wake of the iPad, there simply is no business case for high end eInk devices like the Que was going to be. The benefit is going to be in the software, not the screen technology. Look for Plastic Logic to come out with an iPad app. They'll make more money putting their technology on the iPad (and Android), than they ever would selling a high end eInk reader.
For those who just really have to have eInk -- I think you are going to be disappointed. The future of eInk is in cheaper, mass market devices like the Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc.
