I think those features are pretty cool. I just don't need or want them when I'm reading. Maybe I'm old school, but I seem to approach reading as a separate activity from surfing the net, shopping or researching something. When I'm reading, I never think about those things. Just now I have several dozen books loaded that I'm interested in reading - I can shop for new reading material at my leisure. Sync'ing with a PC is a comfortable paradigm for me as a long time PDA user and Podcast listener. I recognize the difference between PDA functionality and reading. Between my PDA, Blackberry, and laptop, I already run circles around what a Kindle offers as non-reading functions. I simply prefer separate devices that do their 'things' really well.
