Mike, I was reading Lullaby on the X61T tablet today, and the color artwork looks absolutely beautiful. It weighs four pounds, and it does feel a little bulky when reading in bed. It's usable though, and it's totally comfortable when reading in a sitting-up position.

This is a timely post as I read it on my slate table PC that I bought because of the comics on WOWIO. I discovered WOWIO on vacation while using my wife’s tablet PC. I downloaded several books and I tried the first issue of the 10th Muse comic. It looked absolutely fantastic on the table screen. The problem is that the 5 pound tablet was just to heavy to read comfortably for any length of time. Not being able to justify a new laptop I started looking for the cheapest option on a light slate tablet. I ended up ebaying a Fujitsu Stylistic 4110 for $250. The case is pretty well thrashed but the screen is good and the computer works fine. I downloaded the rest of 10th Muse and I’m working my way through them. I also set up the PC Mobipocket software to read the text books that I have. The form factor of the slate is great for comics and I can do my blog reading on Bloglines as well. I really like the WOWIO site and concept and hope you can keep adding more good content.

The tablet is very nice in some ways (reading on it is fantastic), but very frustrating in others (Vista has blue-screened once and forced reboots from sleep twice in the three weeks that I’ve been using it).
