Not to mention the dissertations we have to read! Last month, I had to read a 180-page long dissertation. For the first read, I formatted it to fit my Sony Reader, but couldn't do it for the second read for various reasons (i.e., I really need to annotate the document). Would have loved to save the 90 pages I ultimately printed (double sided) and toted around with me. It was this very purpose that I bought to the Sony Reader, but having a larger screen and one that permitted note-taking would be a much better solution.
