Hi.
I need to read the books(~10GB) in PDF format. Can you suggest to me an
inexpensive tabletPC.
Any other idea ?
Thank you.
Ciao Muzio

With the right program, you should be able to read books on a desktop or
laptop. You don't need to go to the expense of a Tablet PC for the single
function. If you're interested in Tablet PCs for reasons other than reading
books (Ink, ease of use, mobility and being able to search your own
handwriting, for instance) then I would suggest you see the comparison
charts on Tablet PC MVP Terri Stratton's web site: http://thetabletpc.net .

Hey, Chris, do you know _where_ actually he wants to read the stuff?
I don't have a desktop near my sofa - nor I want to have it there ;-)

Muzio, go with a Tablet with little weight and best display.
If you read outside or in your car or in the bus or train, I'd say the View
Anywhere option is a must for you - see http://www.motioncomputing.com/
You may want to wait one or two days more to have even more choices...

By the way the question was worded, it sounded like the poster believed
Tablet PCs were primarily used for reading books. That's why I posted some
of the other uses too. 8-)

I like read the book on my sofa and in portrait format. So, I do not
like the standard PC.
I prefere or a tabletPC OR ?

Thanks.

Ciao Muzio

The Tablet PC would be fine for you then. You may want to check out all the
models available on Tablet PC MVP Terri Stratton's web site:
http://thetabletpc.net . She also has some reviews up, including the latest
Motion and Fujitsu models.

Thanks.
Do you know which is the cheapeast ?

Tank you.

Muzio

Cheapest? I won't recommend Averatec 3500 - got far too hot so that my model
was unusable as a Tablet. Acer is cheapest (or used, refurbished older
models, but take care that you buy it with original OEM or recovery OS CDs)
but perhaps too heavy. Depends on your needs.
As Motion has just come out with new models perhaps used 1300 or 1400 become
cheap enough for you?

Hi, muzio,

I have prices included on most models on my comparison charts at
http://thetabetpc.net.comparison.htm

Keep in mind that those are manufacturer's retail and you should be able to
find a better price online. Once you have an idea of what model you might
want, check http://froogle.com

If you want a Tablet PC for the single use of reading books, I would check
around for used or refurbished ones. But I would be extremely cautious to
make sure you receive all the original repair and restore media which came
from the original equipment manufacturer. A lot of Tablets are sold on
places like EBay, and then people are posting in here trying to find
original CD/DVD setups. That can cost you in some cases several hundred
dollars IF the OEM will actually supply them to you.

As for a pricing structure, you might take a look at the comparison charts
on Tablet PC MVP Terri Stratton's web site - http://thetabletpc.net. Those
are generally manufacturer's suggested retail prices, so use them as a
guideline.

1000EURO is to high for me to read a book on my sofa.
Do you know any e-book reader with HD ?

Thank you.

Ciao Muzio

I would recommend a Pocket PC with a memory card for reading ebooks.

Yes,
but I have 15GB of e-book this is the problem.
Ciao Muzio

Don't carry them all with you at one time. 15 GB you have hundreds of books.

You could use the RDP (remote desktop) with WIFI on a PDA to read anything
on another PC.
Perhaps not as ideal as a larger screen tablet, but would function. Another
option is a Smart Display, but I don't think those are cheap either.
