There is definitely a segment for E-Ink display, but as a standalone desktop seller it might be hard.

If they added a stand-alone text editor to Kindle, I would use it instead of a laptop when I'm on the go. It already has a web browser and 3G.

The keyboard on the old model I have is good enough for typing down thoughts, there's just nowhere to write unless you add comments to a book.
