Yep, that's why I have no interest in e-ink for my academic research work.
That and I'd prefer a multi function tablet where I could pull up articles on my university's library website, search Google Scholar, do e-mail etc. all on the same device that I'm reading and marking up research articles etc.
Even moreso with the Que being more expensive than the iPad. That really makes me want to wait for a tablet that fits my needs vs. settling for an e-ink tablet like the Que.
