I agree with you on this one but until our readers can connect to internet, we're slave to a computer connection. When someone is stuck at an airport with no access it could be cool to have one in a bookstore. Also a dedicated book display in a store could allow to browse through a book before purchase. But this is a temporary market that would soon be superseded.
I think a connection to internet directly from a reader will greatly enhance sales and make readers much more popular.
Only thing I'm afraid of is that a device maker might use a connection limited to their book site.
