Anyway - yes, I realize all those function quite well as ereaders, but I guess I'm looking for the whole enchilada. I don't want another device that only reads a couple of DRM'd formats. I want a tablet or dual screen device like this that reads everything. Unfortunately, at this point in time, to do that - it has to run Windows.
I'm not sure why you need something that supports EVERY format. Seems to be you need ADE and B&N Reader and you can pretty much get any ebook you want in one of those formats. I think ADE will support the B&N Books soon, if it doesn't already.

Alas, Adobe DE doesn't have a Linux version if I understand correctly. Although I'm not sure why... I can't imagine it would be hard to get the OS X Version working on Linux.
