Unfortunately, if all that eInk will do is try to replace the context of reading, then they will fail just as you said. Innovations, such as the Times reader approach, are needed in order to make eInk a viable alternative for text-book reading. Of course, being able to ditch book covers would be a better reason to go eInk and fancy (device everywhere, non-DRM except for some circumstances) books instead of paper
