They may also expect to be able to edit docs (add bold & italic; copy & paste), and adding those functions to an ebook reader--while possible (we managed them on PDAs more than 10 years ago)--would be extra software *and* slower/more cumbersome than people expect doc editing to be.

I would expect them to get lots of complaints about "this doesn't work the way I think it's supposed to, therefore you suck for selling it to me."
