Thanks, Neil!
I actually have a netbook - an Acer AspireOne - that I'm using for proofs and markups currently, as well as editing. The problem is that I have carpal tunnel and therefore find the constant PgDn-PgDn-PgDn and typing to be a problem when I'm working in bed on the thing, or even sometimes on the couch. I don't mind doing my heavy edits and revisions at a desk using OpenOffice (which I prefer to Word/Microsoft Office, honestly), but I'd like something I can read proofs and do quick marginalia on when I'm reading submissions...especially since I still like to do handwritten notes-to-self sometimes. I'm old-fashioned that way, hah (I've never lost my fondness for the red pen).
Sadly, it's looking more like such a mythical beast doesn't really exist. The Entourage Edge looks close, and I'm intrigued by the Pocketbook 302 and Sony Touch Edition with their annotation/handwriting features, but I just can't figure out if there's an e-reader - eInk or LCD, I'm not married to either, though I love the battery life of eInk - that will do what I need!
Do you do any proofing/submissions reading on a dedicated e-reader, or just on your netbook or desktop?
