I've posted the article in this thread:

I thought it was interesting enough to merit its own thread. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't appeared on HN previously (or so says google).

To me, the main thing is instant-on. I want to be able to grab my reader and start jotting notes or reading a page with zero noticeable delay. Once I can do that, I'll stop buying packs of little cardboard-backed pads of paper.
