I have been considering the Kindle DX. I know that they say that the long rumored Apple iTablet will be announced in a month, so I'm holding off getting anything to see if that will meet my needs. What other large screen devices are suppose to be in the works?

I've got a sony 505 as my main reading device. I have a kindle 1, just to get access to the Amazon ebook store. I bought the B&N nook, but while it was a good enough unit, it didn't give me the B&N shopping experience that I had been hoping for, so I gave that to my sister (I had just introduced her to ebooks by giving her my PRS 500 the month before). Right now, the biggest reason that I want a large screen device is for reading in the easy chair at home. I don't think it would work well carrying around with me, or reading in bed. It strikes me as especially useful for non fiction books.
