Thanks.

honestly i am an occasional reader, i read technical books and some religion related stuff, i wont bother my kindle pw as it do not let me streamline those brief reading with other activities online. but lately i realized that it is no point putting additional computing power into eink unless they have the capacity to replace everything that a tablet can offer. because if it cant do everything then you are still dependent on tablet. the only useful possibility i think is a dual screen device where you flip them easily.
Basically I wanted to understand why device makers have shown little interest to make eink device progressive. modern ereader were rolled out much before tablets but now they are far behind, IMHO device makers and software developers had to choose between it, for example webkit browser engine developer had to consider extra point in mind if they were to include eink screen, that way eink was left on the journey. i mean if manufacturers and developers targeted both it would have resulted in poor product, so one of them was compromised.
Btw I do hell lot of online reading on my phablet to the point of bleeding my eyes, shouldn't the eink comfort be limited to fiction lovers alone, that itched me to post this question
