SmartQ V7 or A81?

I finally got paid for a project, and so can at last actually buy the 7" ebook reader & web table that I've been wanting. The question is which one do I want. I've narrowed things down to the SmartQ V7 & the A81.

I like the hardware buttons for page turning on the SmartQ V7, but I also really want a durable and reliable tablet.

I want something for in order:
  • reading ebooks in various formats
  • viewing large full color graphics heavy PDFs
  • casual web browsing
  • occasional media playing
I need it to be durable enough to last a year or so, and while I can work with linux, I'm far from a tinkerer. When I get a system that works, I stick with it. So, which of these sounds better for my purposes. What reservations would owners give me about either device?
