If anything it is the opposite, I have found it odd that the public is allowed into the baggage reclaim area in the US.

They are already trying their best, competitions to retweet this etc. But I think volume is their enemy here.
Even something as simple as only taking unique messages into consideration would counteract marketing tactics. I am sure there would be an arms race with regard to this.
But a question is why would marketing people bother. It is easy to see why they like their message to be a trending topic, but what is there to gain from gaming some statisticians results.

I agree any app that has any sort of interactivity will be sluggish. It does sequential reading well

The refresh rate on current models will really limit this. Might be ok for crossword puzzles and sudoku.

Although the current way it allows books to be read is fairly limited, (table of contents, basic search) the article mentioned more interactive books, such as cookbooks. And this might be where it will be useful.
