I can see perhaps selling OS's on Rom Chips that were inserted into slots on the Motherboard, but even that would be hideously complicated compared to the approach we have currently.
I see where you're coming from viewing it as a step backwards, but I'm afraid I just don't agree that it is.  I think we're better off with the OS approach we have now.

Perhaps but I don't see the need in a eBook reader. My eB1150 can be turned on from a complete off condition and I can be reading the exact spot in a book that I was previously using in about 2 seconds. Since that is the context in which we are discussing the subject I think that waiting 45 seconds after you turn on the device to start reading is stupid and unnecessary.
