Recently for my birthday (and Christmas) my wife got me a tablet. I have been wanting a tablet for quite some time, but she's always told me that I couldn't get one, which of course didn't stop me from doing a lot of research on the cheapies out there. Anyway, she surprised me with an Asus EEE Transformer, with the help of my buddy who owns a computer store, and I absolutely love it.
One of the primary reasons I wanted a tablet was to read digital comics. I love my hard copies and don't intend to stop collecting them, but I have all these Git Corp collections that I want to read, and I hate reading digital comics at my computer desk. I want to relax on the couch or lounge in bed, like I do with a physical comic. I was looking into cheapie tablets for this purpose, and was about to launch into serious research on the Amazon Kind Fire before I got my Asus.
Fortunately for me, my Asus is good for a lot more than just reading comics. However, if reading comics will be a priority if you get a tablet, the 10.1 inch model is perfect perusing your favourite titles. The dimensions of the screen are better suited to a comic than an iPad, as a page fits perfectly on the screen. When I get to a two-page spread, I just tilt the screen and everything fits. While there is a zoom option I find that I don't really need it, I can read everything quite easily.
Now if only somebody would create an App that would let me play VS system on my tablet...a touch screen computer for a card game would be pretty darn awesome.
