No, this is your misunderstanding. (It comes across as quite insistent, actually. You're opposing views I don't hold, rather you are projecting them onto me.)
I'm advocating a reader-type device for other uses like reference. I'm not talking about a Kindle replacement. I'm not advocating putting a real keyboard on such a device. A very flat pad with no hinges would be the best, actually.
You're only talking about the narrow use-case of the Kindle. There are other use-cases for print media, and these represent additional markets.
Kindle refresh time is good for linear reading of entire books. But this is not the only use case that print media satisfies!
That's about a half-dozen things you misunderstood.
(However, a device with the enhanced interactivity I am talking about would also be just as usable as a plain old eBook reader.)
