This is tough to answer. If you are interested in a good tablet / e-reader combo then the Pocket Edge may be a good choice. The tablet can do Comic Books and PDF. However, it is still a little pricey at around $150 USD on eBay. If you are not going to make use of the e-reader you may be better off buying a cheap Android tablet. You can get a pretty decent one for under $100 USD. Look for one running at least Android 2.2 with Flash.

The Pocket Edge will do almost everything the Palm TX does and there are plenty of resources for downloading applications, books etc.

I own a Pocket Edge and a full size Edge and I like them both. My son has a Pocket Edge and he likes it as well. It is a good device if you go forth with the expectation that it is not a gaming tablet but more for reading, business, education, and productivity. From your post you fit that expectation. However, it will play a few decent games. It's not all work and no play.

PS: Your English is actually quite good.
