I don't think a kindle is even good for gmail. Most phones nowadays have internet access and can just use the phone for email access. Heck, my palm treo can go on gmail and download the files i have stored on google's server like mp3s, word docs etc.
An e-reader should just be what it should be, a plausible replacement for a paperback without straining your eyes and not much else. A smartphone can take care of the rest. That's just my opinion.
P.S. I am scared of the kindle and/or remote access to devices by certain companies as well given that particular newsworthy event where a book was wiped from everyone's device...that's the equivalent of a book burning.
