What can't you imagine? The N2 browser isn't even advertised as part of the device; the only use anyone can get out of it is basically backdoor access. It shocks you, therefore, that the browser on the device doesn't have the same capabilities of the browser on your computer? Does the browser on your phone behave exactly the same as the one on your computer? I very much doubt it -- even cross-platform browsers like Opera behave differently on phone and computer. Why should a browser on an eInk device be somehow equally to one on a computer?

I'm similarly confused by your "why would the customers accept this" statement. I don't use the web browser on any of my eReader devices -- I either download directly from the store (which is NOT the same as browser downloading), or I sideload my books.

This is...fairly standard for all devices, except maybe the Kindle which (as has been pointed out) will support direct browser downloading. I'm not sure why you seem to think that all customers start out with the expectation otherwise.
