I'm a huge fan of the Kindle for your typical linear fiction. It has many advantages over a stack of paperbacks. For any other kind of book, e-readers are an unsolved problem in terms of both hardware and especially software. I'm convinced that it's possible to make some really excellent textbook-oriented software (for a large-ish tablet device), but it certainly doesn't exist yet.
