Hi all, i'm new here ...

I've been looking on the web a bit, looking for options to use an e-reader as a 2nd monitor for PC.

/ OR one where you can plug in a keyboard ...

What I would like is to use the e-reader to type documents, in MS Word for example, would this work?

I saw that it's possible to do this with the Kindle DX, and another Kindle 6" model ...

I wanted to know if there are any other models where this works ?

I found an app (idisplay, maybe there are others) that turns android tablets/phones into monitors, does this also work with android e-readers?

thanks, any ideas apreciated ...
