Why is keyboard a criteria? The iPad has a fine keyboard. In fact, I like virtual keyboards more than regular keyboards. I can type faster on my iPhone than any other phone I've used.
Portability in reference to computers...this is categorized as super-portable. The Macbook Air isn't really "portable" either...or is it? I'd say so, in comparison. Because no decent computer is going to fit in your pocket, portability is more determined by weight and width.
@Milelke, If I'm not actually reading the chapters in my textbooks page-by-page, I'm only staying within a few pages to look at examples for Calculus or Chemistry. I'm hardly ever flipping through large amounts of pagery so I guess that doesn't bother me much. The library at my school only carries the class textbooks like 1 out of 5 times, and there's only one copy which people hide so only they can use it when they need it.
Maybe manga would also be a good idea for an eReader. Unlike some people I know, I don't care how many shelves I stuff full of manga and quite frankly, I hate going to a bookstore to find they don't have what I want. Gayyy. I read an entire volume in like an hour or two so going to the store is really inconvenient anyway.
@ Horusmaster: What a nice generalization. I could afford a nice computer (financing isn't hard), but it's not something I'd even use all that often so it's more cost-efficient for me to use my phone and what I have now since they can both do what I what and need to do anyway.
