It's certainly not as good as a dedicated e-reader, but for someone who is traveling full-time and traveling light, it really fits the bill!

Here it is in laptop mode, but the keyboard snaps off:

Very interesting! I'm considering my options for when my monster all-in-one 27-inch Sony desktop dies. It's about 8 years old and I've not been able to even get updated drivers on it for years now. They don't make them :-( Considering whether I will get a laptop or an upscale tablet with a bluetooth keyboard (perhaps a Surface). Hopefully I won't need to make that choice for at least a couple more years. 8 years ago it was the top of the line as far as hardware was concerned, so it still does pretty good - but I can't really update anything. It's also a beast since it is an all-in-one. I didn't consider at the time just how difficult it is to change/update hardware.
