I am going to be laptop-less when I travel from now on. I'm working on a novel, and I have a copy of the manuscript on my T-Mobile MDA that I use with a bluetooth keyboard to write with on the run. Nice part about the Reader is I can pop that mini-SD card into an adapter and into the Reader, and read my manuscript like a novel. It's a lot easier to catch glaring errors when reading on my Reader than it is to catch on my tiny MDA screen.

What about editors, publishers, agents -- I would think since the Reader supports RTF, it'd be a dream to be able to put partials, manuscripts, and other submissions onto the Reader and catch up on the train by using one device rather than having a briefcase loaded down with twelve four-hundred page manuscripts!
