As it seems that I might be getting a tablet soon (don’t know at this point what it might be as it is a belated birthday gift) I thought I’d ask for advice on what would be good free apps to get for it.

Basically I intend to use it for reading and have already figured out that CoolReader will work fine for my needs, perhaps with something which reads Word-files as a backup as well, although I hear that CoolReader does a fair (it is apparently fifty/fifty whether it will display bold or italic text, but I can live with that) job of that anyway so it might not be needed.

What I would like some advice on is what would be a good (and, again, free) app to read comics and manga with, and also if there is something else that I’m overlooking and that might be good to have. For instance, does anyone know of one for Mahjong solitaire or some other fun and simple little game? And is there anything else I should keep in mind?
