Exactly what I think also. When reading a book on my Gen3 I really miss this association. I also miss a cover that can be used to remember the book.
I am hoping that the user interfaces on e-readers will try to keep this sense of a book as an object. It could probably be done by some clever user interface that we will se sooner or later on tablets (I think you need colour and a fast screen update and a fast processor).
