Thanks for your opinions. On considering them, I ended up getting a tablet. Though instead of the A1, I went with a refurbished Nook Color (available in Canada through newegg.ca).
I went with the Nook Color because it is a tablet but also because it is easier to mod should I want CM9/ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) on it. Not only that but there are a lot of positive comments on the Nook Color with CM7. I also figured that I could get more support if something goes wrong it as opposed to the Lenovo A1. (I also figured that 800Mhz vs 1Ghz shouldn't have much of an impact on web browsing.)
I found that reading manga on an e-ink device can be quite troublesome if the pages are not leveled; while that tends to be rare, I had a chapter that was very hard to read as everything was grey-ish and the contrast could not be adjusted on the K3; on a tablet, I would simply turn up the brightness a bit.
I also figured that the Nook Color would be of a similar weight as my K3 as I have Amazon's case with light on it which is by no means light.
Also, the "easier on the eyes" thing is as
sheygetz said, I work in front of a computer all day at work so reading on a backlit screen should not be much of an issue.
Like
booklover6, I have also experienced my Kindle slowing down when I loaded too many files on it. (Which is a problem as I like to keep recipes on it instead of printing them and keeping them in a binder.)
Should I want another e-ink device, I think that I will get a T1 if and when the price drops.
My BF will be getting my K3/3G as planned. That way, if I miss it, it won't be too far and I could...
un-gift it?
