So far, it looks like it can do quite a bit more, but if I want to surf the web or play with applications I just pull out my netbook.
You have dedicated eInk readers because eInk isn't suitable for much else, the refresh rate is too slow and it is black and white only. It isn't a deliberate decision, but a hardware limitation. What would the benefit be of limiting an LCD device to reading only? If you don't want to surf the web, don't.
