Yet, at the moment, I still think it's the best option for PDFs, especially if you want to take annotations.

I have learned to live with it...

But I am curious about the forthcoming Eee Tablet:

and downright salivating over the Eee Pad (which will not replace a dedicated e-reader amongst my gadgets, but it's still a cool toy and certainly a better option than the Ipad for professional use - well, at least, my kind of professional use):

I hear you. The EEE Pad looks really promising. Definitely more of what I'm looking for than an iPad, although I love the iPad as well. I've been pretty satisfied with the Asus EEE series lately, so we'll have to see if the Pad lives up to expectations
