Same. I basically just want an iPad with a slightly bigger screen (to handle A4 PDFs a bit better) and a real file management system.
I don't want a tablet for computing---just reading (pdfs, comics, magazines and some novels), surfing the net, watching streaming video in bed etc.
The iPad came damn close--a lot more than I thought it would, so I have high hopes that something that suits my needs will be out in the next year or so.

Without all the bells, balls and braces; it might be possible to produce something that is more affordable...

Then you don't need a tablet, and just one of the many e-reader devices discussed on this forum.
Threads like these are more for us who want tablets as e-readers are too limited for us (i.e. the few of us on here who aren't avid readers) and want something with all the other bells and whistles so we can get more use out of it than we can something that just let's us read.
