I want the 5" reader as my portable device and a large device like this one for other uses at home.

Still I will wait to see what shakes out in the color slate reader device market. I mean if I am using it at home then who cares about battery runtime? Well, battery runtime still matters but is far less of an issue at home.
I'm exactly the same. Will 100% keep my Kindle as my portable novel reader, but need something with a larger screen, stylus mark up, faster page turns etc. for academic reading.

One of these devices could lure me if they're $300-400 the next couple of years. But I'm also intrigued by color tablet/slate devices that aren't dedicated readers as I'd get a lot more use out of such a device as I'd use it for web surfing, online TV show watching etc. in place of my work laptop (only computer I have at home currently).

Also not that concerned with battery life. Would like around 6 hours as I'd barely ever use such a device any longer than that in any one sitting, and as you say, who really cares if it's mainly being used at home. I mean my work laptop is hardly ever unplugged from power.
