I've always wanted a device to put a digital reference library and run some productivity apps on. The launch of the Ipad got me interested to see what options I have. All the apps I need are now Linux-based - there are available counterpart apps for the Ipad but (1) the desktop version to sync to requires MacOS or Windows and (2) they entail additional costs.
Anybody here tried the Touchbook (link below), or successfully installed Linux on a touch/tablet device (similar to those mentioned at http://technology.inquirer.net/infotech/infotech/view/20100613-275452/In-your-face-e-Readers)? Would love to hear from you. My main concern with the Touchbook is after sales support.
