I guess a lot of this depends on what you use your eReader for - I'm using it for personal reading only - where I mostly read one book at a time, no endnotes, no annotations, no need for more than one bookmark, etc, so the KT is just what I wanted.
If I were back in school, reading either for a literature class, science books, etc., I can see where this type of ability would be great to have. Hmm, although, at that point, I probably would lean more towards a tablet?

Ummmmm, I've got ~500 side-loaded books that would say otherwise
A collection of drm-free from Baen, converted from other sources (lit, mobi, etc), and hand-crafted.
Admittedly I did write up some scripts to "clean" the html, but that seemed more because of the poor formatting of some of the copies I've been grabbing (slowly duplicating my brothers paper library on my KT)...

Anyway, I'd rather the bugs be fixed and then the new features can be rolled out.

Hum, isn't it SQL, or close to? Been a while since I've done anything more than basic database stuff, but I know I dumped all of the preloaded content using the sqlite plugin in firefox when I first bought the KT.
It'd be interesting to know what, if any benefits there are to having a DB, and how Sony/B&N keep track of thigns...
