Seconded! I frequently find myself frustrated that I cannot read ${programming_book} on an eInk-style display (generally in PDF format but the EPUB versions I've tried haven't been much better). Yes, there are e-readers out there that can

I stand corrected and am looking forward to giving it a spin--thanks for pointing this out!

It'd be nifty if I could have the power of Emacs available to me on a tablet. Since I don't imagine anyone's going to port it soon, being able to use it in a browser seems like the only way that's going to happen.

Clearly Google is going to get bought out by somebody any day now and we can kiss those searching, mapping, and mail services goodbye. As are Facebook and Twitter--better find someone that you can pay for your social networking, stat! And

If you are familiar with (and like) Lisp, I recommend checking out StumpWM: http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl I started with Awesome, moved to XMonad, and have settled on StumpWM. It was very easy to install (many steps, but

As a big fan of Emacs, I also feel the need to mention Conkeror. Its core is based on Mozilla, and it has been my browser of choice since I discovered it a year or so ago. That having been said, I plan on checking this out; it looks nifty

I unfortunately do not have much to add by way of recommendations for software to use. However, one extreme painpoint for me as a consumer of eBooks is PDF. PDF documents are bad enough when trying to read them on a full computer monitor;

For general tinkering with basic principles, you could also keep your eyes open for kits (for example, I have an old 100-in-1 exploring electronics kit that helped me out and to which I intend to return one of these days as it had some good

This looks very promising, and I hope that they're able to pull it off (especially at that price point--it has enough potential that I might be willing to buy it sight-unseen for $99... heck, I'm considering putting in a pre-order already!)

I've had some pretty fantastically horrible experiences trying to get Linux set up, but Arch was one of the smoothest installations I've had (apparently, I am learning!) I've finally been running Ubuntu for about a year now (as a dual-boot
