ebooks as replacement for Harry Potter hard covers are a fine idea, but I see the primary (initial) market for devices like this as attorneys or others with document-heavy work. I would love to be able to have a light-weight device with a nice big screen on which I could carry entire cases-worth of documents, especially if I could search them easily and mark them up a bit with notes. PPCs are great for this, but most of them don't have screens that are large enough to actually do work on, and laptops are cumbersome to use on the train/backseat/plane, and they suck battery-juice and have long bootup times. If Sony doesn't muck it all up, one of these will be on the desk of every associate the minute they come out.
