Agreed. To be fair to those considering purchasing one of these, we should mention the other drawbacks when compared to an e-book reader:
  • Smaller display is harder to read
  • Dictionary is not built into the app
  • 'Last page' feature doesn't seem to work (at least for the Kindle app)

To me it is like a swiss army knife e-book reader. Not the perfect tool for the job, but it'll get the job done and it can always be on one's person.

But I sure do love the device for all the other things it does. Apps, music, video, web browsing (esp. on sites that have mobile-specific versions, like yahoo)
