I wish I could afford all of the gadgets! |
The rumors I've been reading have them launching a Nexus 8 (8.9?) this year. Supposedly to be built by HTC vs the 7s which were built by Asus. As a reading device this might prove to be less ideal for 2 reasons:
1. Size
2. If they use the same resolution (I'll be surprised if they increase it) that is currently on the 7 that means lower pixel density which translates to less sharp text. In my opinion this contributes greatly to eye strain.
Also, my Nexus 7 goes everywhere with me. I have zero issues with portability.
