If you don't mind and even welcome the much increased bulkiness of a 13.3" device, more power to you. I'd rather conform myself with something that comes more handy both in size and supposedly also prize. To each his own.
I certainly don't want to spoil my reading pleasure with a device almost as huge in display real estate as my 14.1" T61 Thinkpad if a 10.3" device is already providing all i'd ever need. No display overkill required here.

I don't think that it's acceptable that a manufacturer believes that by switching to an outdated Android cripple they could be exempted from providing more useful software destined to actually fulfill the sold device's primary purpose.
Ever tried to open multiple PDF files in parallel and switch between those? What use is the multitasking capability of a crippled Linux variant if the software it was delivered with doesn't even take the slightest advantage of it at all?
Just for the record: I am almost exclusively using Linux since about 1995 and i am rather appalled by all these Android limitations.
