I'm Sarah (from Toronto, now living in Atlantic Canada) and I'm a tablet junkie. I have owned a few tablet PCs but currently own an old Motion Computing M1400 Tablet PC and a Nokia N810 internet tablet in addition to the eDGe. Main laptop is a Mac, though, so I use a bamboo input tablet for that.
I tutored math for 18 years and towards the end, was doing so on a tablet PC. It was just so easy to scribble off a solution and email it to a student, or to handwrite into MSN if a student had a question late one night before a test. I also tried to conserve paper during tutoring sessions by having students work on the tablet, and then we both had a permanent record of what we did that couldn't get crumpled in their school bag on the way home. I'm retired from tutoring/teaching now, so I don't exactly *need* more tablet devices, but we travel a lot and often need to fill out forms and sign paperwork on the road. I've bought and sold houses on that little N810, so I'm sold on the tablet (stylus input) concept.
I had never owned an ereader, but I do take books on the road and was having to be selective about what I could take for packing reasons, so I started peeking around. Most of my reading is non-fiction books and articles I've printed off the web in pdf form, both things where I want to be able to take notes. So, I needed an ereader that handles pdf's well and can annotate via stylus. I find that I'm often using the journal side to take notes, make lists, jot down things to remember while I'm browsing the web on the edge.
Since hubby and I are semi-retired and I don't have a day job (or school program) in which to use the edge, I haven't been as quick to experiment with all the features as some here. But, I do keep an eye on the forum to see what interesting things others are doing with their devices.
