Does anyone else use this primarily as an ereader? If so, how does the Kindle pc software and Barnes and Noble software run? We would like to be able to buy protected epub's and also check out ebooks at the library using adobe digital editions (our public library requires it). I hate being limited by supported formats and software, so a tablet that runs full Windows 7 seems ideal.
Also, it would be great to watch the occasional Netflix movie, or Hulu video!

I bought the t91mt mainly for reading and annotating pdf's, txt, chm, isilo's and other book reader formats. I've had the machine for three weeks and it really works great as a book reader. (and when you turn the display around, the keyboard works beautifully as a stand!) Since it is actually a tablet pc, it can do everything a tablet pc can do, serve the web, play music, play videos, youtubes, hulu, etc. However, because it is a PC, there are a lot of things that you may need to "tweak" before it can submit to all your desires! If you are just a casual book reader without much computing experience, you'll definitely scream for help when you first get the machine. I know the iPad just came out a few days ago, so it may be a good alternative to look into for a "pure" book reader. Good luck!
