You have to take into account that ebooks have only just become TRULY mainstream. Before this improving on problems was more then likely not though about much. Seeing as how not many people were buying ebooks. Again I'll use MP3 players as an example. The first players had boring old school screens that only displayed the song title that was playing and menu that only displayed basic info. That was good when MP3 players first came out and not many people owned them. But as more people got into them MP3 players had to evolve to meet consumers needs.

Ereaders are the same as more people buy them ereaders will have to change in order to get more users. Give it time I don't think we are too far off from an affordable and much improved ereader.
