I loved using my Kindle DX to browse various sites and even check email over 3G back in the day. No https support, though, and as that was increasingly required (quite correctly) and as the JS-all-the-things philosophy infected the web world (less correctly) it became broadly unusable. I'd love to have an e-ink device with similar (or better) capability again.

On Nook, I also installed an old version of Pocket (from when it was ‘Read It Later’), which still synchronized with the service quite alright. So in addition to books, I also had my hoarding nest of Wikipedia and blog articles whenever I was waiting in a line. With the 6" screen, it was pretty much the web in a paperback format.
