I’ve been waiting for someone to make digital ink viable since freshman year of college (believe it or not, not only for Green reasons.. its great having a copy that you can mark up electronically and archive into OneNote or email to someone). I hate subscribing to print magazines like Business2, Entrepreneur, Inc, and RedHerring, when I could just get digital versions. I know, I know, I could get Zinio reader and sit there and read them on my laptop. But its just not as convenient. Maybe if I had an extra tabletPC like I used to (sold it because I needed the $), I could sit down at breakfast and read my magazines. Or maybe I could get the new mini M$ tablet.
But honestly, the best device in my opinion would be a lightweight tablet that doesnt have much of an OS.. Just the reader and an email functionality. It has to be cheap (priced around $100). Preferably color, but I guess it really doesnt have to be. It has to have instant-on (I dont want some 20 second boot up process), so I could flip it on and go to a page in a magazine just like I could right now with a print copy.
Finally, it has to be easy to bookmark/tag (del.icio.us/digg?)/search. Maybe, just maybe, Sony is starting to get it right?
