I have been looking at the Coby Kyros 8-inch Android 2.3 Internet Touchscreen Tablet ( MID8125-4G), which sells for around $170. There is a lesser-priced 7" model, which may have some different specs than below.
I'm still trying to define exactly what I want/need a tablet to do, so I have no idea whether a smaller device is the better choice for me or if I should spend the Big Bucks and get a larger one with more capabilities, like the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-A1 ($390 plus another $110 for the optional keyboard/docking station = $500).

I want a 7 inch or 8 inch at the most. I don't plan to watch movies on mine. I want a cheap tablet that I can read books on. I use Cool Reader and Mantano on my phone and I am looking for something just a little bigger then my 3.2" screen but doesn't feel like I am holding a brick.
My phone is a LG Vortex and as long as the screen is just as good I would be happy.
