I'll take a tiny computer of a Kindle. :) The price and what the Kindle is capable of is something that Joshua actually mentioned; he wrote about it on his LiveJournal, and you can read it <a href="http://proth.livejournal.com/156533.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Essentially, why pay more for less? I've tried the post-it approach, and it didn't work very well for me. I tended to accidentally pull the post-its out, or outright lose them. I know many swear by writing in the margins, but I can't bring myself to do that. :) Yeah, they’re actually more than I paid for my netbook.

Other than the price, my only complaint is about the need for batteries... as for research I use post-its on any page I think may be remotely interesting in the future :).
