Use a tablet or a laptop.
The only things I read on my Kindle are novels and such. I don't read magazines, newspapers, journals, etc on it. Also, I don't use the web browser or landscape mode. I know over a dozen people who have ereaders and they all use them the same way I do. Some are non-tech types and others are very tech oriented.
Those that are tech oriented do as I do and fit the function to the device; instead of forcing the device to do a function it wasn't properly implemented for. If I want to get all technical, I'll use my tablet or netbook. B&W just won't cut it.
Instead of constantly wishing for technical features that manufacturers refuse to implement in low-end readers, why don't people petition the makers to produce high-end, feature laden, large display, expensive readers instead?
