If reading and battery life are what you care about, you might want a pixel qi device. Spendy but crisp screens viewable in lots of light (no more squinting at your tablet on a street corner). And since a display is about 30% of the power load, using one that doesn't require a back light gets you nice battery life. The OLPC, btw, had a pixel qi screen.
