Bad news? You need to root it to take every advantage of it. But it's a hella cheaper than the Nook Color.
Not sure if it's a good pdf-reader because, imo, anything that's not 9-inches or above display is not a good pdf-reader at all. |
The Coby is an interesting tablet, some seem to love them, about the same number seem to have had problems.
If the screen resolution is only 800x460, that's an issue, because the OP's original Kindle already offers 800x600, so though you would gain color, you would actually loose some resolution - NOT GOOD.
The pocketbook IQ 701 is a little better at 800x600, but the small screen size and limited resolution is still going to be a problem when trying to view PDFs based on a full sized 8 1/2 x 11 page full screen.
The Nook Color costs a bit more, but it does offer a larger 1024x600 screen resolution, which puts it on a par with the iPads and other high end tablet devices.
As I mentioned in my previous post in this thread, another way to get a higher resolution screen in a compact inexpensive device is to go with a Netbook PC.
On sale, my Netbook cost only about $220, and it has a razor sharp 1024x600 color screen that does a great job with full page PDFs.
