Look, every new feature they add to a reader simply increases the cost. If you want a one device do all get a tablet PC. But someday I'd like to be able to spend just $50 on some cheap e-ink device without all the frills
The problem with existing web capable devices is that they aren't very usable in daylight. My PDA phone is sorta visible, but only when I crank the backlight up to its maximum setting (which obviously kills the battery life).

If the device's OS is flexible enough, and it includes WiFi already, then why not upload a free browser like Firefox?
