Getting back to the eFlyBoook - yes it is simple - this is where the Sony comes in - what can iRex do in this simple scenario that the Sony Reader couldn't ... at a cheaper cost (or more margin depending how you sell the service). The notes is currently just that in this product - I don't se this as the killer difference ...
Meter Readers - well they already can use a PDA - a blackberry with a J2ME app for instance or a wireless iPaq - both smaller lighter better connected (and sadly currently with longer battery life!)

I recently had a mobile car kit fitted - the guy who fitted it took my signature and entered details through a wireless iPaq - a book reader wouldn't have been any advantage to him ...
