Just basic file management and book display would be perfect for me. Don't even need the highest resolution. The resolution of the KK is good enough for me. Seems that the stripped down software would be more dependable and faster, and the harware cheaper without a lot of fancy stuff tacked on.
That would be ok, except that Calibre Companion kind of depends on wifi, and my eyes need a light to read by. If the screen isn't lit, I'll have to have a clip-on almost all of the time.
