I think it's a great thing for tablets. It may just kill Sony's Vaio P. Which is currently priced at the premium of the netbook market. . . And that one costs more than a full size laptop!
I think it's an interesting concept for the future of eBooks. I think it will do for them what the iPod did for music. And that's rattling of cages.
I think the iBook application has the prettiest GUI that I've seen. It does a good job of mimicking the look/feel of a real book. That's based on the programming they did where the pages flip and stuff.
As far as the clarity, I don't think it will be a very good thing. In all honesty, I think it'll suck. I hate reading on a computer and looking at an LCD backlight for so long. I was hoping that Apple would stun the world and go with some form of Mirasol or another next gen eInk and make it do things no other developer could.
But for a big iTouch, I think it's pretty flippin' sweet.
Just hope that the ePub/Apple store is DRM free. But I doubt that.
Highly.
