Not really planning on reading any PDFs, the textbooks I was referring to are the new features on B&N and Amazon where it appears they have "ported" textbooks to a format compatible with the Nook and Kindle, though I don't think it is at a point it could be used for every class necessarily, but an interesting concept that may help nudge me to purchase a reader of some sort.

The DX would be nice, but price and size are two things I don't care for. The reader would primarily used for novels, but if I could swing more functionality out of it, it may help me justify the purchase made.

As far as time for using the reader, I am just going to be taking a class here and there since my employer will now reimburse me for some education fees, why not when it is free!

I believe I am going to try to take a look at the Nook again sometime this week and maybe even the new Sony devices will start showing up at retail.
