Mm, yeah, thank you. I was thinking along the lines of something where I could write in lecture notes or such while eating lunch (or given my styles, breakfast), or so, and that'd be ideally a couple pages of material. Obviously that's overestimating the convenience of one of these for entering blocks of text.

Electronic books seem appealing, at least in principle, though I've only read a few with my full-sized computers. I don't honestly know if I could stand reading longer lengths on a computer screen as more than an occasional novelty.
