Helpdesk at the school says, to run all the apps for WGU, you need a Windows-based tablet at this point.
I'm not getting a little tiny computer with a tiny screen and tiny keyboard when I HAVE several computers already. Not doing that.
So, I'm thinking, several devices will be needed. 1st, my existing desktop and laptop. Next, best bet, I just need something that reads pdf. Then, my first class, today, had a textbook offered from--guess who--Kindle. Okay, Wikipedia (Comparison of e-book formats article) says Android devices read Kindle format. Android also has a CrashPlan client (pulls files down from the cloud).
So since I want a good "reader" quality screen, NOT a "tablet" screen designed for "watching MOVIES in HD" or whatever people do these days, I'm thinking Nook, running Android.
But, Nook doesn't show as having all the compatabilities of actual Android, nor does it have access to the Android market. Is this where I get a Nook and run Android from an SD card? Or is there a real READER device, intended just for that, that actually runs Android on purpose?
