My first real venture into reading digitally was a tablet PC (an Electrovoya SC200 or SC500, I don't remember) It was a full blown tablet PC that boasted a battery life when new of about 12 hours (when I bought it used, it still was getting 5-6 hours). It was heavy, clunky, and not too good in bed... or was that me? wait, what was I talking about?!? or the tablet PC. While many people will get the iTablet when/if it comes out just because it is Apple, I don't see it as doing very well in the reader department. When I first purchased my PRS505 (I now have a PRS600) I couldn't believe that I got a month out of a charge, not just a day or a few hours of reading! I also kept forgetting I had a digital device and flipped the ereader over thinking I was turning a page! I know some people think different, but until a multipurpose device can last several days/weeks on a charge and be as easy on the eyes as e-ink technology, I don't think they will replace dedicated readers of dedicated devices...
