I am not much of tech person so I am looking for some advice. I would love to have a tablet to read my comic book collection (about 100g) of old marvel and dc. I hate reading them on the computer; I want to do it on the couch.

An ipad seems like overkill. I was looking at a zenthithink zt-180. Do you think a low cost android tablet would be enough for this task? If not this one...any of the Chinese knock-offs.

Thanks for any and all help

*bump* because I'm in the exact same position, and would appreciate any advice.

The Archos 101 and 70 models seem to be pretty nice. Both run on Android and are relativly cheap, though prob still more expensive then chinese knock-offs

Have a gander at www.mp4nation.net. You can chat to one of the owners who might be able to steer you in the right direction.

I too have a decent collection of older comics, but can't help ya on a cheap reader - I use my iPad and really enjoy it. Far better than on the comp.

While on vacation, I made the mistake of buying an inexpensive Chinese knockoff of the iPhone last year and I will never do it again. While it works, it has a horrible, low resolution, resistive touch screen and I would have been better off saving the 50,0000W to put towards an iPod Touch later.

I'm not saying to buy Samsung or Apple, but definitely spend a little more money to buy a proven product. And I would get my hands on it person first before I ordered it.

I think you should wait for the tablet wars to start in the next coming months (if you can). Apparently there were a lot of devices at the CES.
