But I guess a feature-oriented mindset is what one should expect from the mass market. I hope my next reader has a built-in air conditioner and perhaps an alarm clock.

I would take my 505 over my netbook for reading any day, same goes for my iPhone. The backlight kills my eyes.
I agree though, on your second comment. I think ebook makers should just focus on getting that core market of big readers and make their moolah from selling ebooks. I really don't want my Reader to do a million things, I have the above gadgets for that. Heh, I don't even want internet access on it.
