I didn't end up buying a fire but got a paperwyte a little while ago. love it. still don't like buying e-books over real books but I get so much more reading done
get the new Nexus 7
Its great and that screen is fantastic
I want a 10 inch one though.
*pasue*
I think almost all 10" tablets are doodoo compared to an iPad but there is a new version of the Nexus 10 coming out later this year if you want to wait.
I still recommend the nexus 7 though, its pretty rad.

I think it's pretty hard to argue with this, and I say that as someone who likes Android phones.
What are you planning to use the tablet for, rootless?

I'm taking a trip and wanna read e-books b/w watch movies.
I know both can be done on a Kindle Fire, but for another $200 I can have a fully-functioning PC, right?
If you want a fully-functioning PC, the MS Surface would be the one to get, it's the only one that size with a full desktop OS. We put one through its paces at my workplace, and it's quite good... but you will have some tradeoff, mainly that it's noticeably heavier than a mobile OS-based tablet. The most impressive thing may have been the cover/keyboard, which felt much sturdier than I expected, and was surprisingly comfortable to type on.
If it's only for books and movies, maybe that's not what you want. I'd say go try out a few and see what feels most comfortable to use, maybe talk to a few people whose usage pattern is similar to yours.
I got a kindle for my birthday a couple years ago and the strange thing is I read more than ever, just not on the kindle. It's great for living overseas/traveling, like an ipod or computer is for storing music. No one wants to lug around 40 records in their suitcase, nor 40 books. But most of the books I read are not on kindle so... I use it mainly as a dictionary now.

Seems like the right move.
Maybe I'm wrong.

the screen is shit, but it's exactly what I wanted.
