A lot of recent articles such as this one seem to think that dedicated ebook readers are now doomed... I couldn't disagree more. This has been said by other folks, but it bears being repeated: Eink displays function act in the same way optically as to actual books, by reflecting rather than shining light into your eyes (i know which i can sustainably stare at for hours with far greater comfort).
One thing which I don't see discussed as much as I thought it would be in IPad press has been the absence of something like electromagnetic induction stylus capability from the device. I certainly know a number of folks who would be much more interested in the if it had such functionality (and thus actually enabled a digital analogue of the pad on paper note taking abstraction)

- carterschonwald 17y agounfortunately, theres a big difference between and EM induction stylus and capacitive, namely being able to have your hand on the writing surface even slightly while writing :-), capacitive alone doesn't let you do that, and once we have screens that support both, it'll be really amazing! (think two panes, one for a previous set of notes/ text youre moving through and occasionally annotating, and the other where you're writing up some other document). I'm actually very much hoping that the microsoft courier product (if it ever materializes), allows that sort of setup ! edit: turns out the most recent lenovo tablets work thusly! http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/ http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tabl...
