I bought a Toshiba Portegé TabletPC and it was killer to surf the Internet and read books on the couch or in bed. I will buy an iPad for reading alone. Throw in the ability to watch my collection of movies that are already in my iTunes, read my books that are already in pdf...<p>I'm an early adopter, so "The plural of anecdote is not data." But I don't need much more to want one.
