You think that a "good ereader should go above and beyond what a paper book used to be" which is I think a curious attitude for someone that reads off of e-ink readers to take. They are meant to emulate the look of paper. Why not use a tablet? An lcd screen has far superior contrast. Is it just about battery life?
Ereaders are easier to use outside than a tablet.
With an ereader I can adjust the font size.
Not to mention an ereader is generally lighter than a tablet.

So yes an ereader should go beyond paper.
Just because the text looks like paper does not mean it cannot do more than paper.
I for one would hate to try to read Atlas Shrugged in paperback font.
Can you read this? Atlas Shrugged is about half that size.
