And because I have the magical gift of reading comprehension, I read the first post where the OP said that tablets have been considered and summarily rejected.

Tablets are indeed better -- unless the person asking considers the back/non-lit, e-ink, long-lived nature of an ereader to outweigh the benefits of a device with a refresh rate fast enough to smoothly scroll, enough RAM to fluidly handle large PDFs, etc, and a total inability to read in the sunlight.

It is also why the Onyx T68 has made a hit with many people.
