I'm all for tablets, but I do quite a lot of input and I rather hate almost all touchscreen keypad/handwriting solutions or mini-keyboards like that on the Kindle or on some phones. Some of those convertible netbooks were great concepts that would make fabulous ebook readers in theory. Reality needs to catch up a little.
Of course, a dedicated device would be great too, if it were better at actually viewing and navigating books.

I'm very interested in seeing what the PixelQi technology can achieve in tablets.
I do a lot of input as well--but I'll keep a laptop for that. Which is easy since my university provides faculty with a PC for the office and laptop for working at home.
But I'd prefer a tablet for reading and marking up PDFs and other larger documents. And a PixelQi screen might be a good way to do that with decent battery life and also being able to do web browsing, video, PDA functions etc. which don't work with e-ink.
