I'm interested in a tablet for reading because, besides "normal" books/knitting/crochet patterns, I also have all of the gaming books as .pdfs. (It's soooo much lighter than the rolling suitcase I normally use when I'm DMing.) The only problem is my nice little EZ reader does not do multi-column books well. (Let's not even start on all the comics that I have as .cbz so I can read them on the go as opposed to the several long boxes in my closet...)
I want a tablet about the size of a piece of paper, that will support multi-columns. Being able to run the Kindle app would be a bonus. (Amazon is apparently the only ebook retailer with Cold Comfort Farm, but reading it on my Blackberry isn't bad.)
I've played with an iPad, but I don't like that it has no SD-slots and I don't like how closed the development is. The Android marketplace might be a little Wild West, but I'll take that over Big Brother.
I'm waiting to see the Playbook "in the wild", at least with my phone, you can get the SDK for free and make your own apps for the BB, I'm hoping their tablet will be similar but with more options.
