I’m eager to see anyone release a full-sized (US Letter / A4) ebook reader. The Sprint Skiff is promising, and may appear shortly. It looks like an 11.5″ diagonal with roughly 3GB of internal storage available, and expansion through SD cards.
Along with the large screen, it looks far lighter and portable than any laptop I could purchase today. No doubt, it will either cost too much, or be tethered to a cellular service that I don’t want.
I’m not sure where my upper bound is in terms of cost, but I desperately want to be able to carry around all of my documents, email, and calendars using a device with this form factor. If one comes out at CES, and I can afford it, then this will likely become my summer project:
A DIY book scanner. Once I have a full-size ebook reader, I’m then going to be interested in having my entire library (not just every research article related to my ongoing research) available to me at all times.
