That's why there's the big e-ink display above it...so you can read without the LCD.
Many people waste a lot of time waiting for slow menus and functions that can potentially be sped up significantly with this kind of solution. It is clearly not for people who are satisfied with the usability of their current devices to "just read". There are many, many people who are
not satisfied with the usability of other readers and speed is one of the major issues shared by many many people. If you're not one, then devices that are intended to bridge some of the speed/UI responsiveness issues are not really for you, and you'd be finely served by currently available technology at a lower cost.
I'm personally not satisfied with e-ink readers. I don't like e-ink's display quality or speed, and I would prefer a wholly superior solution to this. However, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because it
might address one of the biggest beefs I have with currently-available ebook readers.
