I'll definitely stick with something like a Kindle for novel reading. But I want something with a 10" (or even 8.5 x 11) screen for my work--and it needs to have great stylus highlighting and annotating functions.

I don't have much interest in a dual screen device personally though. More something about the size of a legal pad that you can hold in one hand and write with the stylus in the other.
This mostly. I think one side would make good for pdfs, and the other side can make good for comics. Use my pocket pro for books books.
