I guess comparing CPU performance with a flavor of Android would be the 'techy' way to go about things, but I suspect, in the case of readers and tablets, it would be like comparing apples to oranges. Right now, I think this is the best we can do. When I used to buy video cards, I used benchmarks -- fps in this game or that. Lately, I use the Windows Experience Index (WEI) to compare Windows computers. Maybe some clever coder (or magazine) will write a benchmark utility to objectively compare performance.

No. Didn't need to -- just brought one home from Staples to try it out for a couple weeks. I liked it and kept it.
