Well, what Ed says is pretty much exactly what I would get it for. I use my (wife's) Kindle now as a cheap comic book and regular book device which I sometimes look up things on Wikipedia or post to Twitter from. I'd be more than happy with that functionality in a device, especially if it meant no monthly data plan (I can live with WiFi). I have said from the beginning of the tablet race that these things will only become dominant in an actual market share sense (and not just in a "golly gee!" sense) when the price comes down so much as to make them ubiquitous, as happened with cell phones. This is another step in that direction.
