I think what makes an e-ink reader work is the lack of features: I can't multitask, I can't quickly check my fave time wasting web site. This makes the reader perfect for the static, non-interactive experience known as "reading".
This kind of makes me a bit worried about the future of e-readers - if they evolve too much, they might end up with a lot of features that will naturally distract from actual reading.
