To need 1gb of ram to boot on a tablet is ridiculous. This thing will be hot, laggy, heavy and have the worst possible battery life. It will be a thick keyboardless laptop, a sheer anachronism.

Good luck with it, and my intention isn't to spoil your purchase, but like I said it's beyond me why anyone would go with this option. Even the inferior android could be hosted on some half decent ipad knock offs, but windows 7?
I am not sure an iPad can run both Mobipocket and ePub. It won;t be a resource hog. The Slate can even run photoshop which is the biggest resource hog on the planet. The Slate should have burnt to a crisp but it didn't. There will be no speed or resource issues.

Can the iPad run both Mobipocket and ePub?
