Ok, I'm back in the market for a tablet form factor ebook reading device. I don't want to go back to an e-ink device, because there isn't one that reads every format without having to convert. I've gotten spoiled from reading on my Windows 7 netbook.

The Archos 9 is back to being a strong contender, because as far as I know, it's the most affordable tablet running Win 7 that's out there. Everything else seems to run Android and Android is out because there's no Kindle app or B&N app for it.

Anyone know of any tablets running Windows (preferably 7) at about the $550 price point of the Archos that I should be considering?
