Well, supposing they bring out an Apple tablet at a price I can afford I'll be seriously jonesing for one.

But as an e-book reader? Full color is nice, I guess, but I don't read books with pictures much. The quick response time would be good. Backlit screen and low battery life and a heavy reader that tends to heat up--not so nice.

Might be useful in a pinch, but for me, I think I prefer a dedicated e-ink e-book reader.

What the average member of the public will prefer remains to be seen, of course. People might be more attracted to a device that can incidentally read e-books in addition to giving access to music/movies/pictures/color web sites/games/oh, yeah, typing and stuff/. But it seems to me that battery life will not be good enough for serious reading.
