One of the things that I always thought would be a good idea, would be that of the portable memory that is supported by multiple workstation and display appliances, according to your immediate needs. In other words, you have a PDA that is always with you and fully accessible, but when you want more, you take along a larger screen accessory that syncs to the PDA, or a "laptop dock" that syncs to the PDA, and you have a full workstation running off the same memory.
This would solve your multiple items dilemma... you always take the PDA, but you bring the larger screen when it's handy. You only have to worry about 1 book, 1 format, 1 DRM license, etc. It continues to surprise me that none of the mini-computer manufacturers have managed to sell this modular idea to any segment of the public yet...
