I have Sony ebook reader and a Nook Color 7" android tablet. ebook readers are nice for reading, and Calibre (calibre-ebook.com) can be used to convert various text/pdf formats to ebook reader formats. Native support for PDF varies across ebook readers. You may lose tables and other complex formatting after conversion. The Nook Color is well supported by Cyanogen ROMs, and is a good general purpose tablet. Android apps are available for nearly every document format I have come across. Unlike laptops, a 7" tablet means the physical size of the tablet including bezel, not 7" screen. For serious reading, you need at least a 10" screen. Things I regret about the Nook Color: small screen, no 2G/3G (wifi only), no GPS, no microphone, no cameras. After using both devices for several months, I still read most of my texts on my cheap/cheerful Acer netbook (I use an external monitor/kbd/mouse when at home/office). I have a extended battery so my netbook lasts most of the working day on a single charge. My recommendation: get a netbook! - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
