For novels, I mostly agree. As long as there's sufficient light, the reading process on a single panel with page turn buttons is very pleasantly unobtrusive. Since I'm often reading in crowded buses or trains or subways, it can be a quite noticeable benefit.
It's about the only positive thing I can say about ebook reader devices so far. I really really want ebooks to be successful, but I also want them to be much better than they currently are. There is so much room for improvement that it's almost ridiculous, though most companies thus far seem content to squirt out thoughtless clones.
