Tempted to get one as an eBook reader for my PDFs

Whaddya think?

At first looks like a good deal, but I think the resolution of 800×480 would put me off. If you're surfing, most websites these days are based on a 1024 pixel view, so expect both vertical and horizontal scrollbars.

For pdf viewing only, it would probably be ok?

ipad is 1024.

That's what I'm thinking. If the concept works, then I'll probably go for an iPad (being a fully paid up Apple Fanboi and that 🙂 )

Acer has some nice new tablets due out. Think at least one of them is Android based. If it's the Android that's swaying you that way. Otherwise I think the other is windows based.
