[puzzled54]

Just seen this is on special offer from Argos. Does anyone have one? Am thinking about joining the ereader/mobile internet age and wondered if this was a good offer. Thanks

Acer Iconia B1-710 7 Inch Tablet 1079559 £99.99 Was £149.99

Now I've seen the price (which does help) It looks ok to me
33% reduction

[DJHawkes]

no it's not, try looking at the Kobo Arc instead.

[Jeza]

Different Item but Argos price £399.99 Amazon price £329 with free delivery. So shop around. Don't you just love the internet.

[DJHawkes]

soon you'll not have the option to 'shop around' it will be t'internet or nowt, the high street shops as we know them will be gone in 10 years.

[Jeza]

Won't you be retired by then Dot? and who in their right mind would pay an extra £70 for the same item, and have to lug it home.

[Alston]

I wouldn't say it was a bargain which has been around since at least January at £99.99.

Anyway here's a review which may interest you.:-

I'll be retired yes, unless the governement move the goalposts again, but will still want to go shopping!

Many thanks to you all for replying, I had looked at some reviews, but wanted personal recommendations/non-recommendations (thanks again Stylax).
Dot, I would like an ereader with the option of using internet when I'm away, would the Kobo Arc be the best option of the Kobo range?

[DJHawkes]

yes it would because it has full internet wi-fi access from any open zone, i.e. in a hotel, pub etc.

[puzzled54]

I am going to have a look, but how about the glo?

Keep in mind that most tablets ( as far as I know) can't be read out of doors because of glare,whereas ereaders can.
