Before I bought a pocket edge I had made my own version using a 5" tablet and 5" book reader held together in a leather binder made for a day planner. The practicality of my home made version is much better considering the much longer battery life(s) and the fact it actually fit into my pocket. Not to mention the android experience (and development community) of the tablet I used is much better overall than the edge line.
Plus the contraption is modular if I ever just need one or the other device, I simply pull it out of the elastic webbing.
The trick at this point would be finding another small inexpensive android tablet, as they seem to be going extinct. The Archos 43 (currently $165 at newegg) might be ideal but is still quite expensive.
I've actually played with the EEE note a bit, just to configure it for someone at work. It's an interesting device but honestly I have never had the need to annotate pdfs which might be why I've already given away my pocket edge away and reverted to my old home-made tablet/book reader combo.
Probably my last post here come to think of it =P
