That's an interesting idea.
I originally thought of the iLiad as a tablet computer. But because of the nature of the e-ink screen, you can't really use it like that. Every user function has to have a new interface built for it. So, many seldom used features are left out.
If eink devices were standardized and could run the same operating system across models, perhaps that would change. But in the meantime, you're at the mercy of the priorities of the manufacturer, and what they think is important to program.
