There isn't that much new in this functionality - companies like VitalSource have been offering this type of functionality for a while (while offering publishers DRM). Offering these features without the associated publishing costs is what differenciates .Reader for me - if they can attract enough content (which is the real issue), or offer enough formats throug the same browser (less than ideal) they will help drive adoption of ebook readers ... (well my 0.02c ;-)
