One drawback of Android tablets is that they are worthless for running anything else. My son got a Kindle Paperwhite, and based on his recommendation, I feel my tablet days are over. Netflix is relatively unappealing on a small screen, and that is really my only tablet activity that Kindle can't replace.

My Android tablets are the only thing that will support a substantial Amazon Kindle ebooks collection via app and Toronto Public LIbrary services like OverDrive, etc.. I'd really like an e-ink reader for weight, battery life and outdoors readability, even without a decent browser or apps, but am caught between stools: Kobo supports the library but not Kindle books, and Amazon won't support public libraries in Canada, so never got either.

(Completely agree about booting Linux - for a Chromebook would want some comfort I could dual boot or at least use a live Linux Mint thumb drive, probably immediately.)
