It's bulkier than a Kindle - much thicker, almost like a minilaptop, it has two screens and they're both touchscreens. Also has a brower and internet access. Seemed fairly easy to use. I would love that. I have a Kindle and I can't go anywhere without it, but highlighting things is a bit clunky.

I'm not so sure about highlighting it or copying it into a brief, outline, or set of notes. I can't speak to the new Nook or whatever this eDGe thing that Professor Destro has been testing.

From my roughly-3-seconds of face time with a Kindle... I prefer an actual book >_< I’m speaking from ignorance because I’ve never used one of these things, but is it fairly simple to highlight text and such?
