Of course, e-paper has its own trade-offs: Most commercial e-reader displays are black-and-white only, while slow refresh rates — as in a second or so to turn a page — mean that e-paper displays are nowhere near fast enough for video, or even the basic animation necessary to render the scrolling of a Web page.
Why even mention Web surfing when we are talking about ebook reading? It is like complaining why the latest Hammer cannot cross Atlantic ocean.

So, which type of e-reader would you rather have: a dedicated e-paper device with a screen that's great outdoors, has a battery that lasts for days, but can't surf the Web or handle video or color? Or a multipurpose tablet that's a jack-of-all-trades but saddled with the inherent downsides of LCD technology?
They cannot decide what they want to discuss, ebook readers or tablets but they publish their thoughts...
