I don't think that's enough. I think that it needs to be a general purpose viewer. I'm sure hyperlinks will become ever more popular, so it needs to handle such navigation well (touchscreen/trackball/-point/-pad/joystick/-pad/whatever). And it needs to be
fast; none of those 20+ s bootups or 1500+ ms pageflips! And it needs to be small enough to fit in a pocket and large enough to read A4s (e.g., a screen that folds out to A3-size and can thus show the full width of an A4 in realsize).
After people have seen such devices it will soon become apparent to pretty much everybody that it's terribly convenient to have immediate access to so much.
