Thanks in advance,

This is a nice (bit pricey for me - but then I have too many readers anyways ) tablet PC. It will do as a mini-notebook and as a reader. If you just want a reader, then look at a few of the other fujitsu slate tablets, or look at maybe the real UMPC machines. I use an Asus R2Hv (this has a Pentium CPU, not the original Celeron, which was too slow). But it still weighs 2 lbs, and is not really pocketable. I also had to get an extended battery, as the original battery had only a 2 hour life.

Any of the tablets are good readers when it comes to PDF's and .LIT.

If you have that sort of money - you have a fair choice. The Fujitsu 1630 is a pretty rolls-royce of UMPC's.
