I want to buy this because it be great for musicians who can convert all their music to PDF (or buy it that way -- usually non-drm'ed) and will be so much easier to use than hard copy music (with the possible exception of on-the-fly mark-ups). As a pianist, it would be easier to press "next page" than trying to flip the page and trying to get it to lay flat on the fly. Although having to go backwards for codas sounds suboptimal if you actually have to rotate it.
Still, the larger size opens up a lot of possibilities for other uses for musicians, craft persons (knitters ??) etc. Now to sell my Kindle 2...

Someone will have to invent a little electromechanical device that clamps over the Kindle NextPage & PrevPage buttons that attaches to a footswitch that lets you turn pages using your toes.
Anyway, I like the idea - 9" screen may still not be large enough for my eyes but I hope somebody will report as to how well it works (or not) once they have shipped.
