Have a look at the ipad. Its expensive but it really is a stunning piece of kit.
Books, e-mail, internet, games, newspapers, I can't put the damn thing down.

For ebooks though, the Kindle beats it hands down. The kindle screens is a high contrast thingamajig, that reduces eye fatigue when compared to a screen like the iPad.

I've had them side by side, adjust the brightness on the ipad and there isn't a great deal of difference. For just books, the kindle is great though.

I'm holding out on buying a tablet thing until you can play poker on them.

Utterly pointless otherwise, pr0n aside obviously.

Can't bear reading from an LCD screen in I-ink or capacitive, paperback all the way for me.

Nooo, wait for the flexi one.

2.5 times bigger and can be rolled up like a newspaper.

I've got one of those already. It's made of paper.

can you read pdf's on it and is it compatible with Windows 95?

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Mines away for christmas very nice though what little i did get to see of it.

But it doesn't automatically download that morning's paper or a book you wanted while sat in your bag.

To produce each week's Sunday newspapers 500,000 trees must be cut down. The average family uses 3 to 4 trees per year on newspapers/magazines alone.

I reckon the little flexi thing might be quite popular in the near future. Old people will still grumble and whine about wanting 'a proper paper'.

But can a proper paper give you bukkake porn at the flick of a switch if you get bored of reading about corruption? Well, if you read the Sport maybe, but probably not.
