In general, though, I agree that a review should cover the good parts of a device, what makes it unique and desirable. It's like all those iPad reviews that point out all the ways the iPad isn't a netbook. Well duh, it's not a netbook.

I'm interested in what "screen interactions" you are speaking of. That might change my first reaction of "why wouldn't I just get two devices".

I don't see a flaw in an ereader that's not meant for hand holding for extended periods of time. I almost never hold a book up for extended periods of time. I lay it on the table. I am willing to bet many others do as well.

I would even be willing to bet that people use a small table in bed when they read. I know that I have seen enough ads from Bed Bath and Beyond that shows this. I also see them in ads from suppliers of eguipment to those who are physically challanged.

I will agree with you that it might be more of a hinderance to use for those who do hold their books upright. Pretty much the same as when you try and hold up physical books that are heavy.
