I think that with a large enough display (and I'm talking 17"+ connected to a laptop) - ebooks could be very useful. My husband, a university professor who writes research papers in English as a second language - absolutely loves using technical ebooks and texts. He annotates the PDFs, has a dictionary open to look up words, writes alternate proofs or whatever and "clips" them to pages and so on. He just bought a second monitor to extend the process.

I'm certain he'd enjoy a portable reader to carry around to classes and such, but it'll have to wait for a larger, flexible design (and sold in Europe!).
