The price was only a piece of my reason, the main part was the amount of support it has.

The problem is that Readers that run Android use old versions and sometimes too old to run the software you want.
All I want is:
1)ePub reader (any other formats are a plus)
2)word processor
I own a good windows laptop and android phone. All I would want to do is read books, write, and do papers for school. I'm not really worried that I won't be able to do those things. Anything else I would do as I am doing now.

If the javascript and html5 native support is not enough (it should be, the Kindle systems uses it, itself), then that model will run skipstone as an alternative to its built-in browser.
Thanks, but I bought something that can handle an actual word processor, which I think should work better than such a backhanded method ever could.
