I agree with this. It's a cool concept, but not really suitable for "pleasure" reading. Maybe it can be implemented with text messages or email. But I can never see this happening with books/novels. I also like to pause, savor scene, reread it, make sure I understand it before moving to the next paragraph. This just feels like information overload to me. I wouldn't be really able to enjoy a book this way.
But, still, it's a cool concept and I'm sure they'll come up with a more practical way to use this.
