And a reasonable tablet new can be bought for around the same price as an ereader new.

You make a compelling argument
. The Nexus 7 has definitely piqued my interest; the specs and price point both look good and, although there are mixed opinions on how well-suited it is for reading PDFs, all the info I can find seems to indicate that it would be more than adequate for my purposes. (If anyone else is interested,
this video shows it in action; it's in portrait instead of landscape, which is probably how I would use it, but the two reader apps it demonstrates both look great and the uploader says it can handle a 500MB document with minimal slowdown, so my max-30MB screenplays shouldn't be a problem.)
