Any Tablet PC in that instance will be far superior.
But the reading experience will be totally different.
I've had a Tablet PC from Fujitsu Siemens Computers with outdoor display a few years ago for some days to test.
I've installed MS reader and absolutely was fine with it. Have been reading on Pocket PCs for years as well.
But check out Sony 505 and you'll never go back.
Contrast, clarity, mobility, battery duration, ... are phantastic.
And you can have great readers for € 250, way below competitive Tablet PCs.
In my opinion, it depends on your personal preference: Reading, mobility or scribbling?
If scribbling is a "must", I'd be careful about iRex 1000S or Sony 600. You should check them out before buying.
If reading is your main concern and some scribbling would be nice, each of them is great.
I'd check out iRex iLiad, iRex 1000S, Sony 600 and the announced new iRex unit, as you obviously would like to have a touchscreen unit.

Thanks, you really summarized it well. Scribbling is more than a nice thing to have, it is probably the most important feature I am searching for. I'm not planning on reading in the usual way that much, but use the ebook reader/tablet for study and note taking. Most of my ebooks are scanned material right now. To be able to add some comments on pages would be great.
I am not convinced the tablets are any better in scribbling than the ebook readers. In most reviews of tablet pcs this is not discussed.
