Okay, gang, I need your input. I think I may have finally found a use for a tablet. Yes, reading stuff on it.
Does anyone read on theirs? Like ebooks? Pdfs? What's the user experience like? Can you zoom seamlessly? Can you highlight stuff or use a dictionary and is it nice to use?
Second question: file sync. What do you have to use? Usb cable? Some wifi method? Dropbox like thing?

I read on my phone. So reading on a tablet is something I would do if I had one. I use ePub and PDF files as well as download freebies from Amazon Kindle. You can zoom, highlight, bookmarks, dictionary, black or sepia background, it's all good.
For syncing, just move the files using AirDroid and import it through the eReader app.

I guess I'd like something like this: http://www.papershipapp.com/
Of course have no idea what it's like to actually use, I can only see what the features are. I don't mind so much if the app costs a buck as long as there's no sleazy data lock in.
Android, that goes without saying.

Yea, something like that.
And AFAIK, apps like Google Currents, Zite and Flipboard are all free. I'm sure you can find paid apps too, but the free ones work just fine.

Not really. 7-inchers are comfy to hold for a longer time. You can always increase the font size, so screen size shouldn't matter.
