It will certainly be an option like any tablet PC.
But it won't have the battery life, nor will it have the slickness of the interface as mobile windows 7 just isn't as optimized for touching, won't be as near instant on opening programs etc. as the iPad. Just a downside of being a full OS. Also a lot thicker (and probably heavier than the iPad) as well.
But certainly, that and any tablet PC can be considered as options for e-reading. I have no interest in a full tablet PC period--reading or otherwise. But that's just me, not saying they shouldn't come out or they can't be useful to lots of people!
I just want something thin, light, with great battery life and a snappy, super fast OS to use just for reading, document markup, videos, net surfing, short e-mails etc., and I don't need a full tablet PC for that. Just a media consumption tablet.
