Not something that has ever interested me, but Kobo's answer to the x-ray feature on the Kindle?
"Connect with the story like never before. Simply tap highlighted words within a body of text and get web articles, related books, and authors that are thematically linked to the subject of the highlighted word."

I find this
potentially interesting and useful but it all depends on what ends up being underlined and the quality of added information. But this reminds me of one reason why I prefer kobo ereaders to the kobo apps. The dictionary functionality of the ereaders is MUCH better since it automatically detects the language of the book abd has words not found on Wikipedia.
@5thWiggle I've done the same with my tablet at home. Bought a stand, bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I almost never use the computer and now I have even less reason to do so.
