Meanwhile, if what you want is a thing that will let you read ebooks and comics while maximizing value per dollar, I recommend Amazon's Kindle Fire HD10. For just over $100 when it's on sale (several times per year), you get a perfectly serviceable Android tablet with a 10.1" 1900x1200 full color screen, a WiFi connection, some storage, and enough processor and memory to run a comic-book reader, an ebook-reader, a web browser to control your music system, and Netflix if for some reason you really want to watch on a tiny portable screen. Add a bluetooth remote control and a stand that mounts to your headboard, and you have the perfect device for reading in bed even when you've got a fever and have difficulty turning pages.

As a gaming device, terrible. As a device to take around the world, mediocre -- it's not built particularly well. As a device to entertain yourself with in one spot, pretty much optimal right now.
