I want a tablet where I can easily move my data on and off the device easily, either via a USB-cabled device (external drive, USB key, etc) or via an SD-card.

I do not want to be restricted to a proprietary cloud.

Presumably having this facility will reduce my need for internal memory space as I can move my data on and off. Though it would be nice to be able to expand internal storage using an SD-card.

I also want to be able to purchase media from a variety of sources (including using my ripped DVD's / CD's and reading my existing DRM-purged ebooks) and importing and using them on the device. I don't want to be locked into one vendor's store.

I don't care about the size or the speed particularly. I'm am concerned with 'openess.' I appreciate there is no such thing as an open device, but some devices are more open than others.
