Exactly, it was this quote

> For all I love about it, it seems unlikely to ever progress beyond its current role as a pleasant book reader largely disconnected from all other sources of content.

that summed it up for me. That's all I want. I want it to be disconnected from all other sources of content. I don't want to be interrupted with a notification saying that x website uploaded a new article or whatever.

I don't think anyone is asking for that. But I would gladly pay a small fee to have an app with my newspaper that gets updated in realtime and give me a great reading experience without ads, where I can choose the topics I am interested in. I would also love to have an application to manage lots of scientific articles or that allows me to review papers. And I would like to do those things in my "disconnected" device with the nice e-ink screen. Notifications? Of course not.
