Beyond text depends what I'm reading. Some books would work really well having an interactive map, or an interactive graph embedded in it. But for a lot of what I read, they would just be the flashing Eat At Joe's and Get Flat Abs signs that are interfering with me finding the information I need.
I don't necessarily see this as a huge step back. I think it's a temporary step back for some things, but there will always be a need for research into the dissemination of information and someone else will see the needs and fill that.
What I want right now is an affordable color touchscreen with fast refresh and backlighting that wasn't a glare-out in bright light. Oh, and easy on the eyes. That might make PDF an actually useable format on devices and solve a lof publishing issues we have right now. Although marked up LaTeX would be a little better in my opinion. Compressable and not so bloated for easily marked up things.
