true, but the simplicity of the browser limits your experience. for example, i went awhile without a computer (*gasp*), and i stayed in the loop with that browser, not on mobileread persay, but i was able to use the mobile espn site without a hitch!

i do see the draw of being a one trick pony you're right. if i had a hypothetical reader that was a tablet and an e-ink device, i'd probably get a lot less reading done!
