Sorry High 5 I fiddled with your post slightly to my response more readable.

Typing a note seems nice but is quite useless if you can't print it directly from the device. Transfer it to a pc for printing and you'll soon realise that typing the note directly on the pc makes a lot more sense.
E-mail?
Browsing?
Spreadsheet.

I utterly agree it's an e-book reader not a PDA or a laptop.
A basic note function would be good. Viewers for spreadsheets/etc would also be good.

Mp3 then? Cybook has it all...Ever tried reading "War and peace" while listening to Rammstein?
Nah, if you want to listen to music just get a dedicated mp3 player. the sound will be better and it'll cost you no storage capacity or batterylife on your e-book reader.
Use your ebook reader what it is for: reading ebooks.

War and peace and Rammstein? Odd mix. I tend to prefer something lighter like classical music when reading. Depends on the book though.
I kinda agree and kinda don't. I like having dedicated products (phone, pda, mp3 etc etc) but they can be annoying to carry around 10 gadgets (My boss has remarked that I have more computing power in my pockets than I do on my desk).
And it's not always possible to take everything with you so having basic functionality is a plus in my book.
I can imagine taking the iLiad with me to a job interview. I can't imagine taking my iLiad, MP3, etc etc. At least not without giving the wrong impression.

Thats my basic list as well. Anything else on top of that is nice but not nessessary.
