I would like to have one for home use mainly.
I really love hardback printed books. I like the size of the text and how much of the text fits into the page. A bigger screen, such as 9.7" would allow me the same luxury but on eInk instead of a heavy book (the best font size for me is when I creat a book in BD with base font size 10, then go to medium size, however, it reduces the amount of text that fits into 1 page, so I use mostly small size....but dream of medium...(now, I feel like I have said something wrong, so I clarify - small/medium zoom in sony reader!))

Also I would like it for reading technical PDFs without any conversions. Even if I have to travel with it, you should agree that 9.7" eInk reader is easier to travel with than with 1400 pages tome of Windows XP Professional 070-270.
