Kindle 1. Haven't bothered trying since it doesn't have touch screen/stylus and the annotating with the thumb keyboard doesn't work very well IMO.

It uses so much paper, though! I love to read philosophy encyclopedias and online articles, but it hurts my eyes so much. I can't print it all out though. It's a big pain.

Mine are just PDFs of journal articles, usually 20-30 pages that I print double sided. I don't care about using paper. Almost everything I print, read and mark up is something I want to keep around so it gets filed away in the cabinet in my office. And if not I recycle it.
So I'm not willing to buy inferior devices like the iRex that cost too much, have lag in annotating etc. I'm fine waiting a few more years until someone gets a small, light tablet out and has a couple generations to get the kinks worked out.
