The Terminator and mgmueller, you guys are a wealth of information and I'm so grateful you are taking the time to share your expertise.
I'm afraid I'm getting in way over my head! I was reading about a few of things each of you have recently posted. So if this is jumbled, I apologize.
-sideloading android apps, sounds a bit beyond my technical expertise, doesn't mean I'm not willing to learn if it all works when it's done. But read a bit more and for my limited purposes sounds like I could simply download required apps right to PB, is that correct?
-re:KindleFire, yes, I'm in Canada. From the bit I've read it sounds like there are definite work-arounds to this, but not sure for the $ it would be best for me and might be easiest to go with different tablet if PB isn't the direction I go with. And frankly, rooting scares the heck out of me.
-I am concerned about clarity while reading so maybe I should read a bit more about pixel density. I love my SonyT1 and am hesitant as it is to go with lit screen. The prices of these darn tablets is too appealing, and as it seems most e-readers are going this direction anyway is what led me to start doing some reading about tablets. Vicious technology circle! I think my best bet would try to take a look at these in person side by side if possible.
-as to processing speeds, not sure this would be a huge deal breaker for me as long it's not something unbearable. I'm guessing the biggest place I would notice this is watching movies? Or will it be noticeable enough in web-browsing too?
Thank you both again for all your help.
