It is a niche thing--but it's a big niche.
I mean you have the whole student market there you could really sell on a device like this by showing all the cool multimedia features, but also that they can buy their textbooks in cheaper e versions and highlight and scribble on them just like they do their textbooks currently.
As well as being useful for anyone that has to read and mark up documents in their work, be it researchers, teachers grading/proofing papers etc.
But yeah, I don't expect to get what I want in mass market tablet like the iPad. I need a tablet that's build mainly as a document reader and mark up and doesn't use a slow, clunky e-ink display like the Que or iRex etc.
