Well my Nook Color (first gen) is a 7" device, and I can easily slip that in the back pocket of my dress pants or jeans. Of course it is good to remember to remove it afterwards. Usually I would slip it in my back pocket on the way to the car, take it out, then repeat for entering the office -- no bag needed. It does work really good for regular books, but around the house I mostly use it to look stuff up online when someone else is at the computer. Things like checking the weather, looking up a channel listing, etc. The one thing that it really stinks at though is PDFs. For some reason, almost every PDF is formatted for 8.5x11 (or A4) -- even when there is a load of white space around the document. Now if I have the source for a PDF document and reformat it for this size screen, it works great.
What I think would be a killer feature is having a print driver on your desktop that sends formatted PDF printouts directly to your tablet device, sized for the screen. Then you would have a true replacement for your printer for many use cases (such as printing off some quick notes for a meeting, etc).
