I currently have PDFs of some of my textbooks on my laptop for when I'm on the move and can't carry bulky textbooks, but that's about it. I rarely use them, in any case. Not sure whether I'd be willing to take along another electrical gadget just for referencing textbooks whilst on the move (but on the other hand if I also used it for generic eBooks, I might reconsider it). I'm half interested in the iPad (even though it's not <strong>that</strong> suited for eBook use purely because it doesn't use e-Ink) and will definitely be keeping a close eye on that.

It's good for reading things like PDFs that you'd otherwise have to print, or read off a screen.
