I don't think anyone's mentioned one major advantage of the tablet--with the appropriate apps, you can get books from any bookstore; you don't need to worry about stripping DRM and converting files.
Yes but then you would be opening up different apps depending on which book you were reading. That would be a pain. If I could download the books from the respective stores and then select which program I wanted to open them with (like you can with most Android downloads) then that would be much more convenient. I don't actually do that much reading in the dark so having the front light wouldn't be a must. If the next Nexus turns out to be great then I could see myself buying one of those as my next reader. Especially if I could pop my Sim card into it.
