I bought the DR1000s to convert my scientific journal articles to digital format. The DR allowed me to carry my literature database with me. The secondary feature was e-paper metaphor that the device followed. For instance, I print meeting agendas to the device, lecture notes, or program output to the device. I have saved a ton of ink exploiting this concept. The WACOM ability was a bonus - it did not originally factor into my decision; however, being able to markup a document and save it to a pdf will be the primary factor in replacing the DR when it bites the dust. I have found only one device that could replace the important features of my DR - the Entourage Edge. None of the tablets can match my needs professionally. The battery of the DR has begun to lose charge rapidly, so it seems time to start looking for a replacement.
