For our up coming cross country trip this year I have been wanting a small tablet. So I just ordered a Nexus 7 32gb model today. We carry a small laptop & 2 Kindles so this will replace 1 Kindle and I will keep it in my handlebar bag. I wanted to have something easily accessible without having to dig out the laptop out of the rear panniers. Plus we both like to access the internet so this will provide some additional "comfort"!
Now I just have to add the Kindle app and learn how to use it!
