I don't think it makes sense for me to buy a dedicated eink reader for many reasons; perhaps most of all being too closely tied to a single retailer. On the other hand, tablets aren't quite there yet as far as my needs go. When the right Pixel Qi tablet comes along though, I'll probably be all over it.
I'm at odds with you guys though. I don't want a powerful everything in one machine to do my reading on, just a decent media tablet with a host power-saving functions. 7ish", Pixel Qi, snapdragon + a decent part time GPU, 12-20 hours battery life on a 2-4 cell battery.
