Sales questions

I heard about this product from somebody on reddit, and, to put it plainly, I'M HUGELY IMPRESSED! I'm a student, and it seems to have everything I need: A reader, and a netbook all packaged into one! I'm thinking about buying one for next semester, but I have a few questions:

1. Can it connect to Enterprise WPA? My school uses RADIUS authentication on their wireless.
2. I understand it has compatibility with PDFs. If I were to download a PDF, would it a) work well with the reader screen and, if no, b) be easy to convert to the in-house format?
3. Is the response time an issue?
4. How is the e-Textbook deployment going? Will it be ready for fall?
5. Is it possible to mount a Windows SMB share? My school makes heavy use of network shares to store documents
6. Is it possible to install application of my own free will, or do I have to use some store somewhere?
7. Once I have purchased a book, do I retain all rights to the digital copy? If my edge falls down a flight of stairs and explodes, will I be forced to fork out an extra $700 to replace books?
8. Is there any compatibility with windows live messenger? Me and my classmates often use it to coordinate assignments.
9. Terminal emulation--is there an SSH client available? What about plain ol' Telnet? Is it compatible with USB Serial port emulators?

Thanks!
