Some of my thoughts
SmartQ7
Pros
- price
- can run multiple OS
- can read Non-DRM book files
- screen size
- weight
Cons
- build quality, no problems with mine yet but I have seen a few reports of peoples units dying
- ubuntu, for some this is a huge plus, but for a person with no linux experience it can be a pain. I'm still having huge problems installing stuff
- No Lit reader, a bunch of my ebooks are in lit
Overall
- Great little device for reading, easy to pull it out on the subway and read
- Requires too much time out of the box to get things working (comix still doesn't work)
T91
[B]Pros[B]
- power
- reads any format
- much better multifunction device than Smartq7
Cons
- PRICE! This bad boy is close to $600 (in Toronto).
Overall
- The reviews I've read do not justify this amount of money
Other units I'm thinking of and the reason that I've stayed away so far
viliv S7
- price and avalability in Canada
viliv S10
- not out yet
X200T (tablet)
- size
- 12.1 inch notebook is just to big to use as a mobile ereader.
