Of course, I could probably buy a third monitor for the PC, but that's not as portable, can't take into meetings, etc.

I was sifting through a box of papers this weekend. I'm married to a packrat and stumbling across a box of unsorted papers in my garage is not an uncommon occurrence. About 2/3 of it was printouts of electronic documents he no longer needs: specs, manuals, RFCs. These are things that were a bit long to be comfortable reading on the screen so he printed them. Of course when he printed them, he lost the searchability. I see this every day here at work, people reading a spec on paper for comfort and so they can take notes while they have the electronic document open so they can search. Then off the paper goes into the recycle bin after the project is done. If I could have search and annotation in a large-format reader, it would be totally worth it as a second purchase. I'd keep my Kindle for novels, but this would be my constant companion at work.
