I was surprised to see the author couldn't imagine a use for the
 larger screen.  Seems pretty obvious to me:  I'm yearning for a
 good PDF reader for work.  I typically am drowning in PDF reports
 and my choices are either printing/binding them or sitting in
 front of the computer to read them.  I'd love to transfer them to
 a device like this and read on the couch with a cup of tea.  A
 decent PDF annotating app along with the stylus seems like it
 would be a stellar combination.

I'd also be tempted by an A4 format e-ink PDF reader, but alas,
 the market is against me.

Looking at the iPad mini sitting next to my monitor I agree.  Earlier today
I was using it to read a tutorial while doing the exercises on the main
monitor.  The IDE in question takes up too much room on the monitor to
get a decently sized PDF or eBook window alongside it.  A second monitor
would be too big, a large tablet would fit nicely.

I have wanted one of those ever since discussing it with an engineer
who wanted to be able to see diagrams as well as text on a tablet, and
that must have been 4 or 5 years ago.

When I started in my current job a little over two years ago, they gave
me dual 27" monitors.  I couldn't understand why I would ever need two
monitors, much less figure out how to use them effectively.  A few
months later, I bought a second monitor for my home computer because I
could no longer understand how I had ever managed to get anything done
with only one.

Also, I know spring is coming when I have to turn down the brightness to
keep the temperature in my office at a tolerable level...

As I was writing this, I suddenly rememberd that this isn't the first
time I've had two monitors - around 20 years ago, I had a debugger
(Borland TurboDebugger) that could display watched variables etc. on the
secondary display while my program ran full-screen on the main display.
This was only possible because the two adapters used different memory
regions - the Hercules adapter ran in monochrome text mode at 0xb0000
while the VGA adapter ran in either color text mode or graphics mode,
both at 0xb8000.

I had a similar setup in 1988 running AutoCAD - CLI on one screen
 and graphics on a second, and yes - Hercules video cards.  Good
 times.
