Going even farer: You need a complete indexing-database. Something that allows you to say "Case XYZ - list of Data - get 'whatever-expert-statement'" without even thinking wether it is in its own file or a single page of a much bigger document.
AND the possibility to just click on the page and say "Add Index 'xyz' to project 'foobar' hier"
I wouldnt want to search for specific wordings or text through a waste of files - but indexing is fast, both in (automatic) searching and (manual) reviewing (clicking through the index-tables to find whatever you are looking for, refining the "listed indices" on the go)

@NatCh: From my discussions with professionals (mostly medical and project-reviewing commissions), I would say that they expect the battery-time to at least span a weekend:
Leave your charging station at work, take your reader home with you, and work over the weekend without thinking of the battery.
Charging would have to be done over USB or (better) via a charging station (simply slide your reader in) that connects to the PC. Professionals outside of the IT-world want *simple* usage - they do their work and expect devices to adjust to their workflow, not the other way round.

Regarding the virtual keyboard: If they go for bluetooth, they could add HID and allow users to use a BT-Keyboard. For note-taking the touchscreen, for real work the keyboard.
