Ebook readers

If you're a big reader, I strongly recommend choosing one of the digital ink eReaders and not a tablet. It's just like The Damned says, while you may need to read under light like a real book, the eReader won't cause eye strain and is far lighter than a tablet. During a marathon reading session, these things matter. Not to mention holding up a half kg tablet in front of you for hours sucks!

It's also fantastic just being able to throw the thing into a bag and carry it around with you for months without having to worry about running out of juice. Those tablets maybe last a day tops on one charge?

If you're happy to pay $400+ for the android tablet, might as well go with the iPad 2 - $398 now from Big W.

that is the thing that worries me about the tablet, not the weight but the viewing. However, i still dont like having the light on, to read propperly without a light shining in my eyes all the time id need to install a lamp above my bed, which i really dont want to do, as the main light in my room isnt positioned particularly well in relation to my bed....

also, i charge my phone daily, so im not too worried about charging it each day
