OK, I see now what you're referring to. But I'm not sure these are points the Remarkable developpers are likely to focus on; their device is intended as a note-taking/drawing/writing device primarily. Sony is already installed on the large-screen, document reviewing segment, and is likely to be hard to beat there.
This device is a smaller screen, made to be highly portable and pleasant to write on; adding, and improving, reading functionalities is certainly worth the effort because it's such a natural usage, but the Remarkable is never going to be as good as the Sony for things like displaying two pages at once, or doing OCR-like things (I don't think the CPU would have the power for it). So, in a way, it doesn't make much sense (from a developpers' time point of view) to make it marginally better at something there are already other devices that are much better suited for.
This does not mean I don't want the company to improve on these aspects - it's just that it seems likely that they'll spend more resources on things like better cloud integration, which would improve all of their users happier, than on adding functionalities which are unlikely to attract more customers. But then, even this depends a lot on how dedicated the company is to improving their device.
