Ah, but a lot of stuff that would be of interest to me (outside of the academic stuff that I do want, too) is in PDF (knitting patterns, recipes), and it's a big fat drag to have to convert and have things potentially not display properly. I know it's possible, but it's not as easy as I want. I would also rather have a larger form factor. I've looked into the DX (although I would only spring for a refurbished), but the note-taking function is pretty universally decried.....
I think I'm not alone in the general populace in that I want a device that makes it 1) as easy to get something readable as it is to send a file to a printer 2) As easy to annotate something as it is to pick up a pen and jot down a note in the margin and 3) As easy to find something again as it is to go to an organized bookshelf or file cabinet and get the darn thing. 4) able to display larger-format items well (magazine-style layouts, for instance).
WITHOUT having to download some program devoloped by a third party out of the kindness of their blessed geeky hearts. WITHOUT having to understand all the $&%^$ file types. WITHOUT having to pay through the nose for a device marketed at "business".
