This is my transformer tablet - er, on the bus. You might notice how I have cannily removed the tablet from the keyboard to emphasize its tablet nature. I actually read more on my phone, but I used the phone to take the picture.
And in fact I have it open to FBReader which is an open source general purpose reader, though my preferred format to read with it epub. I also do have the nook software on the tablet but a) it didn't like my net connection on the bus and b) I only use it to read drm'd stuff, because FBReader is superiod in all respects. It even does text to speech, which the android apps for kindle and nook both don't do. I have at least one friend who is dyslexic enough that TTS allows him to read an awful lot more than he would otherwise. I just like being able to keep "reading" the book I can put down when I'm driving, riding, or working at the bench. (<= only for routine experiments, of course.)
(Okay, just a link. I'm on my tablet, not my real computer, and I'm having trouble getting it to cough up enough information for a real link.)
