The screen is very good quality - ok it's not eInk but that doesn't bother me. I like the fact that i can load up a number of different reader's and reads just about any format going - although my favourite book reader app is Mantano.

The other benefit of the Tab over eInk dedicated readers is it gives me something i can use to amuse my 18month old and 6 year old. It covers all the bases in a single portable device - altough i must admit i don't fancy using it as a phone - altough i could if i wanted to.

I was interested in the Nook Color but unfortunately it's not available this side of the pond.

It’s been many years since I’ve had an 18month old or a 6 year old for that matter, but it doesn’t prevent me from loving my 7" SGT as a reader. I have a PRS 505 and a JetBook, and my wife has a Kindle. But I’ve used nothing but my Tab for reading since I got it.

I was pretty much confined to my smart phone while out and about and my PC when at home (WhisperSync is WONDERFUL), but now I can use the Tab exclusively. My only issue is that the battery is not quite up to an all day read, but then those occasions I have the opportunity to devote a whole day to reading, I’m also near enough to electricity to just plug in.
