What you pay to have that is... they are more expensive (something like 2.5 times more minimal) and have more weight - 1,5 to 2 kilos for a tabletpc, 0,75 to 1 kilo for a umpc.
Still… for you the positive things are much superior in number to the negative ones.
Wish you can find the perfect solution at the lowest price.

Thanks for the advice, but I already carry around a computer that is designed specifically for the blind and doesn't have a screen but operates purely by audio, the problem is that navigating through a text via audio is not quick or convenient at all. A tablet pc is still a computer and although you are right that it would do what I am looking for, it is too big to carry around when I already carry around a computer, and I also intend on reading books for casual reading from time to time and would like to eliminate eyestrain. I am sorry, I should have mentioned this in my first post. I really believe that what I am looking for is an ebook reader. Forgive me for being too vague at the beginning of this thread. On occasion I would like to read a book without listening too it and large print books are generally not big enough and they are very heavy and bulky. But thanks for the advice.
