The Windows 7 Libraries feature can then front-end all your ebooks in a common database. http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2008/10/arspdc-windows-7-libraries-under-the-microscope.ars And, of course, you get ink-based annotations, too.

Wotta good reason to buy a tablet! ;) Seriously, though, it looks like a good solution for tablet owners. Now, if Amazon would get some newspaper and magazine content into that store, it would be great. Nice! Wotta good reason to buy a tablet! ;)
