I wouldn't mind extra functions, but I want reading to be the device's primary function. I don't need games, music, a browser, and so on - my Nook has all three of those things, but I hardly ever use them. If I need the internet or want to play a game I'll be much more comfortable sitting at my computer anyway, and if I want to listen to music my MP3 player is less cumbersome. I often read several novels a week; I don't want to do all that reading on a device not designed for it. The extra stuff is nice, but not essential for me, while things like a reflective display, a medium-sized screen (smaller than an iPad, bigger than a phone; I think the 5- and 6-inch readers are ideal), and controls that easily navigate through ebooks are essential.
