I think the possibility of plug-and-play is a good idea; especially, as Ben suggests, for the vast group of people whose brains just go tilt when they get much past 'push this to turn it on and this to change the page', but who would love to use a dedicated reader if getting books was easy. Of course right now there's Amazon and Whispernet which is pretty easy, but with the distinct possibility of a price hike for a lot of their material that glow is dimming.
I bet I could even interest my mother in an ereader if she could just go to a bookstore with an SD card and say 'I'd like that book and that one and that one', and then just plug it in.
