One of the reasons I bought the devices that I did, a Kindle 1 & a DR 1000S, was for the possibility that I might go back for my graduate degree (MFA in Writing). I'd much rather carry the Kindle and either the DR or an ultra-portable laptop (I'm not looking at netbooks) than several print books and paper notebooks. Since the DR is much cheaper than most of the laptops that I've been looking at, it's even lighter than the lightest laptop PC, and it gives me the opportunity to handwrite my work out for later conversion to typed text on my PC, I chose the DR.
