What I haven't seen a lot of assurances about yet and what would be the make it or break it for me would be its ability to synchronize with OneNote. It looks like they have attempted to make a standalone "onenote like" app rather than a OneNote or OneNote lite version. For me the main draw of this device would be to do what my Sony Touch currently does for me - allows me to take handwritten notes and annotate documents for work. If it worked well this device would be far superior - enabling me to refer to a document while I made notes in a meeting. Have the document up on the screen while I worked out some of the structuring points on another screen. Having two documents up so that I can compare similar provisions. The list goes on. More importantly better scribble/handwriting features including OCR and seamless importing into OneNote etc. would make my life much easier as right now it is a very awkward process to transfer notes from the Sony to the computer and back again and most of the search advantages of OneNote are lost in the process.
So, I will wait and see, if it can do this and do it well and doesn't cost an arm and a leg I would consider trading in my PRS600 for it and getting a separate smaller reader for casual reading. It would be nice if they would release an "office" version and a "personal" version as right now it seems like they are strictly developing for the "personal" young student etc. population whose needs are going to be very different from those of business professionals.
