I am an Android fan, but my smartphone does all I need in that department. A tablet PC, on the other hand, is something I can get a lot of use out of so even at the much higher cost it would be a better investment.
As far as eReaders, I like the K4-NT, and I kind of like the KT but I'm really bothered by the lack of page-turn buttons. That's why I'm looking at the Sony line and others.

Yes, I miss having page turn buttons on my iPad. Plus, as far as the 3G Kindle Touch is concerned, it doesn't appear that you can surf the net on the device unless you have a wi-fi connection. Unlike the way 3G works for the Kindle Keyboard, the Kindle Touch 3G network only allows you to buy books from Amazon or look things up on Wikipedia. I might get one of those Fire devices, though. I've ordered one for my grandson for Christmas, and if I like it, I'll order one for myself.
