I agree. Even for that, I still prefer my smartphone despite its small screen. Page draws take forever with the e-ink. I am not a patient woman. Wikipedia is great on it but that's a supported rather than experimental feature. If web browsing is important to you, I think a tablet PC or UMPC would make you much happier than any of the the e-ink devices. I'm sure someday in the not too distant future, we'll have lovely displays that are as kind on the eyes as e-ink but fast enough to support more applications. IMO, we're not there yet.
