Think children's books - I know most of us only read literature, text books, etc. geared to adults, but think about the possibilities of a decent size, color screen for children's picture books. And, the norm for us to read paper back fiction is black text on white paper, but if authors were not constrained by this - if it were no more expensive to include images, and color text, then what might they do w/ that. Textbooks are enhanced by color images, programming texts benefit from color text, etc.
My only concern (I have a sony 505) is how do I replicate what I can do w/ a hardcopy textbook - I can use a finger or bookmark and quickly, easily flip back and forth. I can annotate my text as needed. W/ the Sony, it's simply too tedious to flip back and forth using the bookmark software because of the time it takes to display a page and of course the software behind it.
And, I have a friend who is a college professor of literature - she says students need to have a book that they can freely annotate, highlight, put questions on the margins, etc.
