I'm going to be buying it mainly for reading Novels and some Poetry. The Bible and Lots of public domain books like The Brothers K and Les Mis etc. I love the Classics. I'm 48 and in the last couple of years my close focus muscles have gone to dinner and haven't returned yet. So a LARGE screen device has a huge appeal to me. I have to put my Sony 500 n permanent "L" now. And turn the page every ten seconds. The large size doesn't daunt me. I think I can find a "man purse" or bag of some sort to lug it around. I plan on keeping my trusty Sony to carry along when I go to the movies or grocery shopping with my wife, those moments during the day when I'm waiting in line and can snatch a few moments to read. I look at the big screen as a luxury for reading at home or in bed. And hopefully it will load this site on the Internet browser? (does anyone know...?)
But still I wait for the scoop from Y'all.
