It's
not an ereader though. It's a multipurpose device, and as such must be compared to other multipurpose devices. With my Windows Mobile phone I can read a book while a webpage is loading, swap to that when it's done loading, and jump back after clicking another link. Depending on the sites I visit I could also have music playing in the background. Or in Windows "actual" I can have however many windows set side by side for reference/comparison. The latter is something I like to have when a decent size screen is available.

And just when did Microsoft start dictating what programs could or couldn't be made available on Windows (any version)?
