cheap touchscreen tablet

as a general point using a backlit tablet as an e-reader is not such a good idea as they tire the eyes. You still can't beat e-ink (Kindle, Nook etc) for e-books. Horses for courses and all that.

Or y'know, a book

Still the best way to read anything

Agree, but that's another horse - ink for books, beats everything

books are dead, as are watches, I ended up with a £90 chinky special, so far i'm impressed, I've already put kindle onto it as well as lots of angry birds....

oh, and the Kindle e-readers are brilliant, and can put the app on your phone/tablet and they all sync up.

Agreed BVG, the Kindle is great to read without tiring the eyes but it's good to also have the app on your phone/tablet for when you're waiting around in the docs/dentists/dole queue whatever.
