I'm not so interested in movies or ebooks, does anyone know of a tablet that just does email and web? and is cheaper because of it? BTW, Silk browser seems like a bundle of awesome ideas

Well, everyone's definition of "cheaper" may vary, but the Chromebook seems okay to me: http://amzn.to/q2FqQ9

Hmm, interesting. A foldable tablet with a keyboard!

I think they might be onto something there.
