> I need a REALLY GOOD reader. I wish I had a lightweight, clipboard-sized, hi-rez, B&W, PDF reader with the flick scrolling, pinch resizing, etc. of an iPad with the battery life to last a whole delayed flight from San Francisco->Tokyo->Singapore, door to door.

Have you seen the Sony Digital Paper System[0]? It seems to fit the bill perfectly but the price point high.

+1 for this interesting suggestion. Thanks. I've never heard of it and would love to try one.

Apparently, it doesn't scroll, but I'm sure scrolling takes a lot of energy to do all the refreshes. I assume that a large, hi-rez reader can offer scrolling, thinness/lightness, or long battery life, pick two.
