For me the problem with all-singing all-dancing ereaders is distraction. I know that I'll surf the net rather than read; watch videos etc rather than continue with the novel I've begun. This is one reason I've shunned newer ereaders.
I appreciate that others may like this capacity, but in looking up words, I use an electronic dictionary - takes a few seconds and keeps me off the web. I'd rather imagine the places depicted in the novel than know exactly what they look like. The pictures in my head are what I want them to be.
