I think this represents the strange dichotomy of this device, and the nature of the "love it" "hate it" posts that frequent these forums.

From what I gather, it is not meant to be just a reader, like the Sony.

It is being marketed as a B2B product, a tool for researchers and students.

And it has no search capability?

It just seems so strange, and it seems like it would be something quite easy to implement, what with the LINUX base and availability of search technology.

I would have thought that search would have been one of the first features out the door.
