Just make sure that you don't get one that is too small - I borrowed an iRex iLiad [1] from the library at the university, and I found that the 8.1-inch (21 cm) display meant constant "scrolling" with the touch-pen, which was rather annoying due to the high response-time of the system. The only book that I finished reading on it, was Mercurial: The Definitive Guide by Bryan O'Sullivan [2]. The reason that I could read this book, was that it was released for free online by the author with all source files so that I could compile it in a smaller page-format with bigger fonts (the figures did not scale automatically, but IMHO, they weren't crucial to understanding the content of the book).
