I like the design, the lighter-than-notebook weight, and the full Windows experience.
The tablet mode is still subpar, partly due to software (Windows) and partly due to hardware (too heavy and too hot compared to iPad).
The battery life (or lack thereof) is its weakest point.
Depends on the type of books you like to read.
Fiction is almost always better as an e-book, except for those with lots of pictures/maps.
Programming books are okay for reading on tablets and computers, but almost impossible with e-ink devices and small phones.
