Bob,
I'm desperately awaiting your opinion on the Ebook side of things with your tablet pc.
I'm on the very cliff-edge of buying a tablet myself rather than a Sony reader.
I figured that with the tablet I won't have any native pdf issues, I can also read my comics (cbr files) in full colour, and on top of ALL of that, I can surf the net if I'm in a wireless hotspot.
How can a Sony reader possibly live up to all that?
(Am I sort of looking at it in the right way?)
I'm torn between a IBM thinkpad x1 or a Fujitsu Stylistic 5020.
Both look very good...
So as for the pdf reading, I'd love you to confirm if it's just like reading a pdf file on your home computer.
Open in Adobe Acrobat and read away.
No sizing probs etc, like on the Sony Reader.
Any advice at this vital turning point in my life would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
