The biggest surprise is Wifi. I'm amazed at home much faster it downloads things. I don't recall seeing that it's dual band but maybe it is. I do have a dual band router.
There is a reading mode and I tried it with Moon+ reader and it does make it a bit easier to read, although Moon+ already let's me get things pretty much the way I want them.
I have a Kindle Voyage so this won't be my reading device except now and then but I do want it to be ready to use it for that when I want to.

Thanks, barryem, for the info on the ASUS MeMo. I'm pretty much sold on the ME176CX (today, anyway!) but I'm forcing myself to wait just a little while to make sure it's really what I want.

The tablet is light, screen looks good, fairly responsive to touch, but I often use a stylus to input text. I would guess the battery lasts about 6 hours rather than the 8 advertised on the site. After about three hours of installing apps and setting them up it still had 52% battery. I put lots of apps on it and it still had 11 gigs of storage left. The tablet is fast, nothing sluggish about it. No problem installing any apps. I put Overdrive on it with no issue. Moon+ Reader worked well, and I found my books on the 32 gig micro sdcard I put on the tablet. Amazon books and Music work well. Plus the tablet has an FM Radio which is pretty cool.
It was packed well and arrived fast with Prime shipping. I can't think of a bad thing to say about it. Of course I can't say how well it will do over the long run, but from what I can see, it is a very good tablet for that price and especially with the nice IPS screen.
Hope that helps :-)
Any other questions let me know.

Thanks, conan50. I read a sampling of the reviews the other day and it sounds interesting. I worry about buying an unfamiliar brand, though. Decisions, decisions!
