Hey folks,

I just had to jump into the forums today, after lurking for a good while. It seems the polite thing to do. I'm excited by what seems to be the next wave of e-ink readers. In particular the 9.7" models with touch screen.

I'm a wannabe ebook reader, with hundreds of books (mostly pulp and scifi) in my collection, unread. I currently use a Palm TX, but I rarely read from it anymore. I find the constant strolling irritating, to be honest.

I've dreamed of a portable datapad/PADD (for the geeks out there) since middle school (I remember reading an Eastman/Laird comic with an image of Fugitoid using one!).

My dream device would enable me to write notes on PDFs, as I work with scientific articles all day long. Internet connectivity would be nice, but I have other tools for that. I'm just tired of printing out PDFs, frankly.

Anyway, that's me. Thanks for the forum.
