Well the local discount electronics warehouse here is called Frys so I stopped by to look at the small tablets. Very interesting... of course none of them had any books loaded, although games and videos...
However since I already know I'll be able to download apps to read books, which I've already done with my phone, I'm pretty sure they'll all work pretty well.
I am kindof waiting to see what gets released just before Xmas... and maybe pick up a good deal.
In the meantime, my husband now wants a reader for his scientific papers. They're mostly (or all) PDFs, and he wants something to take with him to court while he's waiting to testify...
What's a good reader for PDFs?
