Default Best Tablet PC?

Hi, Iam thinking of buying one Tablet PC as many of my friends have it and I find it to be very useful and convenient for Ebook reading and also has many features.I ruled out Ipad because it is not user friendly and does not support other Ebook formats other than Epub.

What is your experience using Honeycomb tablet PC? (Xoom,Iconia or any other)? What formats of Ebook does it support?

You're not limited to using the built in e-reader app on either the iPad or Android tablets.

See apps for iPad here and Android here. Both support Kindle and Kobo apps, plus a number of others.

Though, personally I would get a dedicated e-reader with an e-ink screen, if my only goal was to read books on it. The exception would be if I was planning to read lots of picture and graph heavy text books or comics. A dedicated e-reader costs less, has a more comfortable screen, weighs less and has less interesting stuff to distract you from your reading.

Well, I asked here on what tabs are the best a few days ago and thought Ipad was the best. But its really hard to resist the other features like camera, microsd slot and less cost when compared to ipad.

Do those applications still work on the latest Honeycomb operating system?

And I would like to ask these questions too to the people who use the latest Honeycomb operating system in their tabs.Now, I have decided to buy Acer Iconia Tab because it is the only tab that is cheap and has nearly all the features of Xoom or Ipad 2 or any other tab.

Does the tab comes pre-installed with application reading PDF books?Or what application do you recommend?

I tried to contact the official websites of the tab but unable to find any support. I also contacted those youtube video uploaders who made those "unboxing" videos, online sellers who sell the tab. It's pretty frustrating that I could not find an answer from anyone.
