I agree with emellaich. My husband and I are both university faculty and have similar requirements for reading & marking documents and texts. In addition we both use our respective university CMS system for up-and-downloading course electronic materials, interacting with students online, reading email, and retrieving/marking/uploading student papers.

You're talking alot of money for an interim solution which probably won't meet your needs - at least I know that it won't meet mine. Less money would buy you an interim netbook that can do everything - and won't have you tearing your hair out trying to get it to do it! When you turn down the backlighting a laptop/netbook screen becomes much "gentler" on the eyes (we are in our 50s and have no trouble reading for at least 2-3 hours). I'd think you could then resell the netbook when something better comes out.

And I don't think we'll have to wait too long.
