What should I get?

Ouroboros · 05-14-2011, 05:04 PM

I really need a reader or tablet [under $150 (but willing to go to $175 but no higher no matter what, just can't)] that can read pdfs. I don't need it to do anything fancy with the pdfs, just simply read them. I have 200 books on my computer that are all in pdf and it's quite a drag to sit here when I read.
So, I've narrowed my search down to a couple of items, but I'm not sure if they offer exactly what I want...

The Coby Kyros 7015
http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_...8&pcat_id=1013

The Archos 70c eReader http://www.archos.com/products/eread...try=us&lang=en

Jetbook
http://www.jetbook.net/

The one above $150...
The Coby Kyros 7024
http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_...4&pcat_id=1013
(This one would be great, just a bit pricey... (and also depending on how good the eye strain is for reading...) BUT this one would be awesome because of the front-facing cam, I am going to China for almost 2 months in a couple of weeks and would love to have this to skype with family/girlfriend/friends while I am away if that is possible instead of lugging around my huge laptop that was intended for video game playing- so it is HUGE and a little downgrade of size would be great, but the price is hard for me to it with all the expenses of the trip... -And on top of all of that, even though it has a front facing cam, can this tablet even do video chats with any service at all?

So, any advice? Does anyone know if the Coby Kyros 7015/7024 or Archos will cause any eyestrain? And can the Jetbook perform the functions I need?
Thanks for any responses and help!
