Has anyone found a tablet that's capable of running the full Calibre program but still be small and light enough to use as an e-reader? Calibre only runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS and I don't want Apple. But, Windows or Linux is fine. The problem is that a tablet bigger than 8" is probably unwieldy as an e-reader, but 8" tablets tend to be Android. And, even at 8", they all seem to weigh about twice what a dedicated, e-ink e-reader weighs (with worse resolution and pixel density).
