Reading books is pretty sweet -- you can add bookmarks, but I don't see how to add notes -- but there also different apps for book reading -- iPad has one, there's a kindle app as well -- may depend on what you use. I'd strongly recommend putting your hands on one and checking it out -- it isn't the ideal computing machine, but it does a nice job on the stuff is does.
So the iPad is back in consideration, though I will still wait till the Android based tablets are out. The iPad seems to have the basics of what I want, though notes would be quite nice while reading, especially since I plan to use this mostly for reading technical books and such. It will be interesting to see what the Android tablets offer and their price point.
