I'd definitely like to try one. I sometimes read on the lounge, and I'd like to sit the Iliad on my little "sidetable" sometimes (just like I've currently got my laptop on it). It would be good if one sat stably on your chest in bed too, as I get "dead fingers" from holding up a book or the Iliad (I'm not sure why - it must pinch a nerve or something). I'd definitely like one for plane travel, to sit on my little travel-tray so I could keep my head against the seat.
Jon, I think you hit on a good use for an ebook reader I'd not thought of before - recipe storage and display (with stand). Store them as appropriately-sized pdf's on my Iliad and I can even scribble notes on them (even add a "notes" page to each recipe). Conversions. Replacement ingredients. Glossary. Ingredient reference (imagine if I could get an indexed ebook Larousse Gastronomique or Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion).
Mmmmm, sounds delicious.
Cheers,
Marc
