Engadget seems like the book reading aspect.

When we turned the backlight off entirely, the grayscale setting was perfect for reading a book in the sun. Okay, it's never ideal to read a book on a netbook, but we installed Kindle for PC, downloaded Eee Rotate and did our best to turn it into a decent e-reader. We can't stress enough how awesome this display is for transforming a device into an e-reader of sorts -- it's beautiful to not have to talk of screen delays or "refresh rates." We did snap a couple of side by side shots with an eInk display -- you'll notice the Pixel Qi screen is a bit darker in sunlight, but it's not distracting in any way.

Excellent and very informative article. Makes me want to buy a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 and install the QI screen, but I'm still holding out a bit longer to see what will happen with the Adam tablet. Still hoping for an India release in August.

I like the fact that the IdeaPad can shift between the different modes by hitting the F2 key.
