Perhaps Cyberman tM should notice that much of the posting on the forum relates to reading for entertainment and relaxation, none of which needs multimedia junk to mess with the experience... multimedia entertainment is usually called film/video or works across the web... I've got things for that - computers, tablets and a smartphone - I don't read for entertainment on those, that's why I have an eReader. For tech books, manuals, teaching etc then fine, extras and enhance and add to the process but that's not reading for relaxation and entertainment, it's reading for educational and helpful things and, guess what, I don't use my eReader for those, I use a tablet, a computer and, if out and about, a smartphone...
It is rather insulting to talk of "bound pages of e-ink" and rejecting digital when you are writing for a group of people that, overall, probably embrace more leading tech than most... early adopters of eReaders, tablets etc. It's just most of us embrace eReaders for the convenience and ease of having books to read anywhere and everywhere for our entertainment and and escapism but prefer other tools for the "multimedia" book experience.
