I'm also in the market for a device that will eliminate the need of printing articles or making photocopies (just scanning things instead). I'm totally unable to read articles on screens, if I need to seriously read an article, it's imperative for me to print it. This is what I want to stop with a e-reader.
I also need functional annotation tools for scientific articles, and a large enough display to show a page in one go and with good detail.
I think in terms of hardware we are already there, with gadgets like the pocketbook 903 and perhaps soon the onyx m90. I'll just wait for any of them to become equipped with decent annotation software (if they ever do).
As for the entourage edge, it sounds enticing, and I'm finally starting to understand how someone could use it productively, but I really want to go for a simple e-ink display with very low battery consumption, that lasts me for at least 5 years, because it does the task it was bought for good enough to not require upgrading until it stops working.
