Rotate the screen and you can hold it like a book and read anything on it. Apart from that it just runs XP and you can hack the fuck out of it.
IMO, it's easier to get a clean version of DRM-ed books than getting a DRM-ed hardware toy to accept non-DRM-ed data (possibly voiding the warranty and such).
battery-life if you don't use wireless, is about 3+ hours. maybe more if you install a linux distro tweaked for conservative power consumption.

Converts just about any word file into Kindle. And is free.
Granted, the formatting doesn't always come through, but if you're using the Discordian Library file dumps, you're getting several hundred books for free... an whaddaya want for nuthin?
Check the XKCD forums.

You can go PDF straight to kindle through stanza.
