I gave nexus 7 a try one weekend and simply gave up after half an hour, even with lowest brightness the idea of have to "scroll" simply bugs me.

for example this page:
http://www.tangthuvien.vn/forum/showthread.php?t=91288
each post consist of two spoiler buttons, the content I want to read is in one of them and it is quite long (1 post = 1 chapter). Clicking on one of the VP or HV (i.e second post) button loads up a content which I usually read using Kindle.

Again, you may want to check the developer's forum ( this thread) |
If the Kindlepdfreader has similar capabilities as the one on Kindle then I would be able to rename files using the file manager it comes with.
Nice! Kobo can run applications written using Qt? I have some experience with qt so this surely is promising.

My web browsing on Kindle is quite limited, not actually to browse daily news but to read long text (=a chapter of a book). That's why I wonder if kobo reader is usable in that way.
