I'd offer the very minor quibble that there are a number of improvements that e-readers offer over p-books. I say minor, because the vast majority of folks seem to find those improvements supremely uncompelling. The Sony Reader, in particular, has arguably taken a step back in a couple of aspects there, no search is the most glaring example, but annotation and a number of others are out there too.
In any case, I do very much agree that the advantages need to be expanded, and they need to be highlighted in a way that the average person can see, understand and appreciate.
