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.

Easy to turn those off. I read solely on my smart phone and I am never interrupted by my phone other than for phone calls, which of course would interrupt me if I was on the e-ink reader as well.
For me, the smart phone provides all the benefits of an e-ink reader plus access to multiple book sources like ScribeD, Amazon, library books and more. With most e-ink readers being linked to walled gardens and unable to run other reading apps, they just don't work for me.
