I don't want a multifunctional device. I believe in dedicated ones. They work well and better. For instance, my DSLR camera, instead of taking pictures with cellphone or iPad. Of course, this may not be your case.

I wanted to give Nexus 7 a try because at that time, we have no eink reader with integrated ligh technology. Yes, the Nook was there, but not quite the same (in theory) as Kindle PW plus is not an Amazon device.

I'm not totally disappointed, but bought it for reading, basically. However, using Internet is not bad. Same for YouTube and videos.

The Kindle PW does landscape mode... PLUS ... has integrated light on it. I'll tell you in a few days, if its as good as looks in videos. Then, my iPad 3 will be the perfect match, because will allow me to read PDFs and browse Internet, which is not suitable for eink or 6 inches devices.
