I don't really think that they designed this device as a real reader: all of their products are based on Vista Sideshow, and they just made one that would work on e-ink (nice for the eyes when you have to do a lot of reading).
I haven't tried Vista yet, but for some applications, this might be worth it. If any app can easily communicate with this device using Sideshow, it could be a nice way to export some data, and read them on the device (read your mails for example, keep your agenda with you etc...). Not related to e-books, but after all, we do a lot more reading than just e-books.
