hello

im going to go for the ccna exam (well the first part) and ill have to read some ebooks so im looking for a tablet. not intrested in ereaders as they have no added functionality. i dont want a ipad either.

im looking at either a android device or microsoft's surface. most of you will say the nexus 7 but no sd card and no pen (to hightlight stuff easier for example) is a bit of a turn off.........the htc flyer looked pretty ok but has no support. the galaxy note is weird in the sense it that it doesnt have the size of a phone or a tablet and would be pretty hard to read.

right now the surface is my perfered choice even if it is not on the market.


suggestions?

OP, what is the need for the SD Card?

With its retina screen the new iPad is simply going to be the best bet when you're dealing with huge amounts of text, i.e. when reading a lot. iOS handles both PDF and ePub extremely well. Just bringing it to your attention.

He said non-iOS in the thread title. So that isn't an option.

He did state some restrictions that I can't even name any tablets except Note and Flyer which comes with

• Pen
  
• SD Card Slot
  
• Non-iOS
  
• On sale as of right now

The surface will be out in Fall, but it won't be cheap.

Hence the "Just bringing it to your attention"-part… I've seen people saying "no" to whatever product before, but sometimes it's simply the best solution available. In this case it's going to be the new iPad, hands down. Otherwise I'd say wait for the Microsoft Surface, but that could take another four months. Possibly even (much) longer if Microsoft isn't going for a worldwide launch. I'd definitely prepare for the latter if you're not an American/Canadian.

Hello,

Have you considered a rooted ("nootered") Nook Color or Nook tablet? They both have MicroSDHC cards, and can use a stylus for highlighting.
