Most people don't jot notes in novels. I don't want or need the ability to write in an e-book. I don't need or want another calendar application that I have to sync up with my main one. I certainly don't need mp3 playback as when I read a book, I read a book. There are no surrounding distractions to ruin my immersion in what I'm reading.
Selling to schools and businesses I can see a need for some input method, but whilst these markets are generally willing to pay more than avg joe consumer, there are more people out there who read for pleasure.
The divide in professional/consumer requirements is being addressed by iliad-pro and sony/hanlin - consumer.
If these devices live up to expectations the e-book market could get very active very quickly.
