ereaders are a really nice platform but the current problem with ereaders is the lack of tactile feedback, and the difficulty of random seeking. The first issue is mostly just preference. being able to see how far finished a book you are and the satisfaction of flipping a page is nice, but has little utility. The second issue is a bigger problem. anything but a linear read from start to finish is difficult on an ereader. the only reasonable use case of ereaders in the current form is reading a novel. anything with a more complicated interaction, such as textbooks where you need to jump back and forth for reference to equations; choose your own adventure books; or books with footnotes or endnotes are severely limited. I'm not sure if either of these issues can be fully solved, but they will definitely need to be mitigated in the UI for ereaders to have a more sustainable demand.
