Multitasking
I tried to understand what it can be a "multitasking" for e-reader.
It was mentioned somewhere here while comparing Boox M92 to PocketBook 912 (with that feature). One can find in User Manual of the PockeBook that multitasking means to be able to switch from one task to another through simple Task Manager.
Sounds great, but it seems to me that - at least in case of readning books - it does not produce anything new or better in terms of usability. This is because of two key reasons:
a) even without multitasking, any decent ereader will remember last viewed place in a book before closing it.
b) even with multitasking, you can not see two books at the same time on screen (as there's no windowing interface available).
On the other hand, implementing of a global copy & paste function could be something really productive while attemting to work with a couple of docs at the same time.
How do you think about that ?
