I totally agree.
The huge problem, in my view, is the fact that current eReaders are not customizable at all AND that no private business has an economic interest in proposing an open HW/SW device (even big HW-only makers, like Sony, are struggling behind HW+content players, like Amazon). We really need some university/cultural organization/public entity to fund the development of such product.
For example, the problem with the indexing/file registering/etc. process when you add a book. One should have a way for disabling it, as not everyone needs it.
