Sure you can, eInk is nice, eInk Readers are light and their battery life is generally much better than what one would get on a computer (and does not get so hot either), but at $600 or $700+ the iRex is quite expensive (compared to other eInk Readers). At that pricepoint I would prefer a computer that provided a greater level of functionality. Last Spring, I bought a UMPC for $600 that is a great electronic reader and let's me do so much more than any eInk Reader.
