There is a really good reason. They don't want to, because if they did, then the e-ink devices would compete with the shiny tablet versions. Look at Prime in the US: huge benefit when you have a Fire and you can stream many movies and tv-shows for free. Prime on eink? Useless in comparison. Whoo Hoo, you get 1 (ONE) book per account out of the owners lending library as often as once a month. A lot of the books in the lending library don't even even cost that much to purc hase outright (a lot of them under $4, many $0.99).
