Filark, Wow, it's a small world, because I think the PE is too heavy too. Probably the cheapest device your husband could get that would remotely do what he wants is a Lenovo tablet with downloaded reader software. But Lenovo's have gorilla glass, so maybe they're not featherweight either. What I love about the PE is that heavy though it may be, the risk of screen damage from dropping it, or a bird pooping on it (such as, ahem, a certain hawk
), or a branch scratching it, is pretty impossible. Also, it opens just like a--book? Is that what they call those things made of paper that have verso and recto sides?
