Have you played with Chad's Thinkpad as a reading device? It's really for around the home or on vacation (but not commuting or little excursions), what with being bigger and heavier -- but it's only a little bit bigger and heavier than (say) a Neal Stephenson hardcover, so still totally usable.
Download a book in PDF, swivel the Thinkpad into tablet configuration, load it up in Acrobat Reader in full screen view, and voila. Highly usable, and with a hard button mapped to Alt-Tab, you can switch over to Bloglines and keep up on your webbing, too.
