I'd say you aren't in the target market, then. It's really designed for the person who does a lot of long form text reading and I'd argue that for that use case, it is pretty tough to beat.

I'm very happy with my iPad, but I would consider buying a dedicated reader like the Kindle if I could read all of my books on it. Also important, I would want to use it for PDF manuals, but these often contain diagrams. If most of my reading were paperbacks that had no graphics, I would consider it, but that's not the majority of my reading.</p> The problem with that device for me is twofold: It reads limited formats and it doesn't display graphics.
