Once upon a time Eink didn't have the resolution for those things. Now it does.

So, even if you have to put your own together (Companies like Whirlpool and Bosch being somewhat behind the times) high memory capacity is useful and many times tech support finds themselves working in direct sunlight where tablets with LTD or LED screens just don't cut it.
As an advocate of the KISS approach to an e-reader I agree with this POV as well and believe that there's probably a market for ruggedized, high resolution, high capacity devices for this purpose, but that's a very different market than the novel reader.
