Anyone got a better device to suggest?I use a Motorola Xoom 3G. It rockets through large .pdf files and can search through them if the original file was published to allow it, has a greater screen resolution than an iPad, supports microSD cards for content transfer, and runs Tesla Droid circuit simulation And of course it has all the usual tablet computer features - internet, watch video, documents, etc. You can get a wifi-only version for less than $400. Have seen a Samsung Galaxy 10" tablet which is much nicer, but a little trickier to source.thanks for the tip I will be looking into that.Was thinking of I pad as well.A dedicated tablet would be ok but cost is a big thing for me. so that rules that outRuslan has a 10" tablet for $299 and some cheap Xooms. http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/category/android-tablets/You can always return it in 7 days for a refund if you don't like it that looks quite good.How would you rate android apps for reading PDF'sI want to be able to use the bookmarks in PDFs as alot of them are over 1000 pages and also search, how did you find your experience?Need one bad my back is going from carrying around massive text books.
