I'm definitely leaning towards the PB now. Question, how do you get apps on it? By downloading to PC and then loading them to PB? If so, that's fine, as long as it's easy and it works?! LOL So sounds like setup would be pretty basic for me, charge, likely update firmware, then download ebook reader app [seems like 'most' people recommend "BookReader"[?]. Besides reading and surfing [occasional mp3 or video], anything else for me would be gravy really.
Again I thank you so much for detailed advice!

Sideloading Android apps into PlayBook:
http://forums.crackberry.com/android...-2-0-a-701348/
Basically:
- Downloading the prepared files. Legally, there's a "grey" area. You even can download paid apps - for free...
- Downloading kind of an Explorer app.
- Dropping the downloaded Android files onto the Explorer app (on your PC).
- Sending the Android app via USB to your PlayBook.
You won't find all Android apps, but certainly 75%. That's thousands of apps.
And the Emulator in PlayBook, original product from BlackBerry, works surprisingly well.
