If I may say, the choice of a device by large depends on the diversity of document formats it can handle. For me, this rules out most of the current E-Readers in the market. The reason is simply that I mainly work with dense Mathematical documents and my preference is to see and read each page in one go (plus probable divinity of continuous page turn option). The main format I use is DJVU and to the best of my knowledge the current Ereaders either don't support the format at all or it's nothing but a headache (Tigran's development on Hanlin V3 appears to be a significant exception although I cannot comment on its page/view capabilities). The rest of document formats that people use for usual reading experience (minus PDF that I usually convert it to DJVU) are more or less (and elegantly) accessible on my HTC TP2 phone using MobiReader and Calibre. So my hopes for now, are factored out in Apple's new product (assuming it is anything near what was long expected).
