Acer A100 vs Amazon Kindle dilemma

[Hav0k99]

A friend of my brother is willing to sell me his Acer a100 for $190. Spec wise I think it's a good bang for the buck. Some of the reviews say that it has bad viewing angles. The Kindle's screen is great but I don't like how it's pretty barebones compared to the Acer.

What does everyone think? Recommend another $200 tablet?

1024x600 is too low res for a tablet, IMO.

For a 7" $200-$300 tablet?

Try to get the Lenovo A1 I think they are still $199 on the Lenovo website.

Better then the Acer Iconia A100?!

Yeah. The x600 is the main problem. You'd need to use it in landscape mode and scroll a lot for most websites. There are already 1280x800 phones out and there are going to be 1280x800 7" tablets soon in that price range. At this point, I would wait for those.
1024x600 for $200 was a good deal last year. I have a Nook Color. But technology marches on, and at this point you would be better off waiting for it to make the next step forward.
