Yes, just load one of the Windows ebook reading apps (list here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_software#Windows ). There's also an ePub viewing plug-in for Firefox.

Certainly, The wiki does have links for eBook readers you can use. You can use any in the Windows list plus any in the Windows 8 app list. You can choose regular windows or windows apps for your reading but only Windows apps are likely to rotate for portrait viewing. You can, of course have multiple readers.

It is, however, worth noting that machines like this tend to be heavier, and have a shorter battery life, than dedicated tablets. I use my Surface Pro every day as a computer, but I wouldn't personally choose to use it as a bookreader.

Got one and enjoy. May not have the battery life of a tablet or ereader but you have full Windows applications. Remove the keyboard and it is pretty light.

Get one with 64G. Windows and pre-installed programs take up space on the 32G version. Then get a 64G microSD card and you are set pretty well. oh and a stylus.

There might even be one with a hard drive in the keyboard but I think that would be too tempting and you'd wind up with stuff on the hard drive you want so impractical to leave keyboard behind.

I suggest the Open Source Software route. I use PortableApps.com http://portableapps.com/ with programs like LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC. They can be put on the PC's drive or on the microSD. They have a big selection of programs and keep them updated: http://portableapps.com/apps

You can even have Sigil http://portableapps.com/apps/office/sigil-portable and calibre http://portableapps.com/node/20518 (not official PAc release yet).

To read books I use the Firefox Epubreader or the calibre viewer. May not be what people like in a dedicated reader but it can do more.
