Sweet, that will make it easy.

I mainly want Ubuntu for PDF reading, so if WebOS improves to the point it can do it well, I might pass on Ubuntu.

I've used FBReader before on my phone, and it was okay. I want to run Calibre because that's what I use to manage my library on my computer, so it would be easy for me to migrate the library to the TouchPad.
I found out why it's taking to so long for my TouchPad to arrive. It hasn't shipped yet! Apparently having a fire-sale with a price reduction that makes Steam's Holiday sales look conservative does a number on inventory levels. Who knew?
It may be another couple of weeks before it gets here.
