#2 - its an ebook reader and not a multi-use tablet computer. This "irritation" is as ludicrous as complaining that a premium chef's knife has only one blade unlike the "jack of all trades, master of none" Swiss Army knife.

#3 - completely wrong; the reporter doesn't know how to use the dictionaries. The dictionaries, at least the Oxford American that I use as default, has quite a number of definitions of phrases. After moving the cursor to the first work in the phase in question, one simply needs to press the return button to open the dictionary and read the rest of the definition and, often, page forward through the many related definitions to find the phase in question. A single "Back" press returns to your book.
