Kindle is just a book, pity since Kindle could be much more

This seems to insinuate the last thing I should want from my eReader is for it to be highly focused on the one task I actually use it for. For my money, the opposite is true.

Seconded. I have a Sony PRS-505 and I'd never go for an eReader without over-the-air or at least WLAN again. I couldn't care less about taking notes on the thing. Feel free to bolt that on after you have wireless added, but not before. Wireless support is a system seller. Note-taking is just "Why would I want this" and "Will I scratch my screen with the pen?" fluff.

And even if the note-taking expirience is completely awesome (which I doubt, given the response time of E-Ink screens). Do I really want to plug the device in all the time and use some proprietary windows-only crapware to transfer my notes? Certainly not.
