Hi all, and thanks for your replies. The problem with most tablets, like the Amazon Fire or Sony DPT is that they do not support all formats, for example the Amazon Fire only azw3 and pdf, Sony only PDF, and the conversion from djvu, epub and mobi to pdf is not perfect, specially for science textbooks that have formulas, graphs, etc, that's why I was looking to a Windows or iOS platforms that are more open (i.e. not proprietary). Also, the 12+ inch display is a must, I need screen real estate for ease of reading/studying
By "cheap" I mean sub $500, but if the cheap option is not possible, I would be willing to spend more on a device that satisfies my needs.
I like the Sony tablet you suggest, only if it can be hacked to accept all formats
