I have decided to wait for the Daily Edition. The only reason is the screen size. I don't only want to read books on DE but also documents, especially PDF documents. Almost every day I find myself printing out many documents to read while I am commuting or in transit. With DE I should be able to simply copy them from computer to memory card and have them ready.

I am not sure if I will be able to mark up PDF file on the DE in such a way that the markup remains as part of the PDF even when I copy it back to the PC -- I hope so. That would make it possible for me to completely avoid paper.

I also want to have few reference books in PDF format with me all the time. For that, using the larger screen in landscape format will be a must.

But while I am waiting for the DE to become available I'll be watching for any new small netbook tablets or smartbooks with 7" or 8" screen.
