Unlike paper books.

The ZDnet post missed the point. The device isn't so much aimed at people looking to buy their third, fourth, or fifth e-book reading device, or at people who essentially want a tablet computer. It's aimed at getting the paper-only crowd (that other 98% of the potential market) to move over to e-books by addressing the flaws of existing devices--flaws as seen from the perspective of the paper-only crowd, that is.
