Re-revisiting this, I've had more time to use these in various places. There have been many times lately that I have ungodly long PDFs to read -- mostly research papers -- and sitting by the computer is not much fun. Same for laptops, netbooks.

I wish it was not a shiny reflective screen.
Plus I'd want it to read files from thumb drives, rather than emailing myself docs.
And then I wish it was priced about on par with a netbook.
I'd probably buy one for $250-300 to read PDFs (or even the occasional CBZ comic book.)

Not sure what my alternatives are just yet.

All I know is that I loath sitting by a computer for several hours to read a book. Not too fond of printing 100 pages (sometimes in color) that will be put in the trash when I'm done -- too wasteful, too expensive.
