So far I love the Kindle3 from Amazon with the installation of duokan to allow it to read all popular eBook formats (pdf, epub, mobi and chm) whilst having a decent internet browser. The next in price would be a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 which would also allow a lot more features including hacking it to run full Linux. All my options require voiding warrantee but that is what Linux and FOSS are for IMHO

Hi group, This might not be the right forum for this, but I'm looking for an affordable, durable tablet or eReader with web access, what do you all think? any recommendations? FYI, the only linux based isn't out (outside of Japan) yet, as far as I can tell: Galapagos 5.5" eReader Multimedia Tablet - looks perfect but if its not on the market then I can't buy it...
