I guess we did go off point and we don't have to have discussion about laptops/pc tablets. I guess the original poster was interested in maybe getting ereader for his law school textbooks and was willing to copy them and use them on either ereader or other device that could work.
I suggested netbook/laptop and maybe ereader for reading notes and other simple stuff. Then it turned into classroom note taking and we got into all the rest of the stuff.
So, back on point. Which Ereader /laptop/netbook/PC tablet for Law school textbooks?!
