I understand that some dedicated ereaders can do *very basic* web browsing, show photos, and has a very basic mp3 player. This does not mean the item is not a dedicated ereader. You cannot visit 90% of the internet with them. Any photos on ereaders look horrible. There is no way I would listen to my favorite album on an ereader... so why call ereaders multi-function devices? It does nothing well but books. Which is all I want it to do.

Hey, don't get angry, I totally agree with you and would not give away my reader for a tablet, it is just
one possibility where the journey might end.
As companys like Mirasol already have the next E-Ink generation working in colour, it's only a question of time and money to get it working on moving pictures. And if people like to ruin their eyes by reading on LCD screens, im sure there are enough companys to supply them with devices to do so.
And "dedicated" means "for the sole Purpose" (at least in german), so a device that is built for reading books but has other functions as well (bad quality or not) is not "dedicated", but multifunctinal.
