HI i'm NOob and I'm neeew here!
I'm in the market for a tablet that has at least a 10" screen for viewing technical PDF documents and textbooks that contain pictures and equations. My experience with E-readers has been that they don't handle .PDF files well and turn pages very slowly. I've tried looking at .PDFs on a smartphone with a 5' screen and it was miserable to say the least. A 10" screen should prevent constant resizing and duplicate the effect of reading a book. I'm trying read these PDF documents for 2 hours at a time - so the most important things to me (in order of importance) are:
Reading documents will be my sole purpose for the tablet so other features are simply extras.
The shear size of the tablet market has just exploded and its really difficult to understand the differences between competing tablets.

I'm trying read these PDF documents for 2 hours at a time - so the most important things to me (in order of importance) are:
- no glare or anything that would cause eye fatigue for extended periods of reading
- decent battery life (~6 hours or so)
- price (around the $100 mark)
