Least worst what? E-reader? There's all kinds of feature sets and prices, how about you talk about what you're planning to do with it?

You can get a Zenithink zt-180 for around $170. That's an Android tablet with 10 inch screen and ok battery life and speed. Or you can get an e-ink reader and zoom around on the page.

How often do you guys read pdf's? I only deal with them when reading a restaurant's menu online sometimes.

All the time; unfortunately, academic journals do not publish in ePub yet. Also that first apostrophe is unnecessary. I also don't like the Kindle's creative pagination methods, but the real dealbreaker with me for readers is PDF support.

Pretty sure the only tablet device that allows pdf annotation is the iPad.
