Yes, e-reader companies should be very afraid. Here's why. Christmas season 2010--new $300-$400 cheapy knockoff tablet with stylus running Windows 7 comes out. Student ABC at college XYZ figures out (s)he can plop down on the couch, lie in bed, head to the coffeeshop, basically go wherever one normally goes to get cozy with an e-reader, and easily annotate a PDF with XChange Viewer or markup an ebook with reading software of choice.
