I'm a light to moderate reader (I get through one or two books a month) but I do
all my reading on a Nexus 7. I switch it to night mode (white text on black background) if I'm reading in the dark, but I can't say I've noticed any sort of eye strain from the backlight. Maybe it's because I don't read as much as others, or because the Night Mode setting actually helps, but I find it fine.

Indeed, although one might argue that it would be cheaper to just get an Android TV dongle if that was its sole purpose. They're still a little clunky in places, but I have found that an Android TV with XBMC and a DLNA server has almost completely replaced the dedicated HTPC I once had in my lounge. (I'm just struggling to find a decent Usenet client to replace SABnzbd+). A tablet would do just as good a job but be three or four times the price.

People seem to have this obsession, presumably because of "The King and I" or similar phrases, that "I" should always replace "me" when talking about
me and somebody/thing. It isn't always the case; in fact, I'd probably suggest it's only the case just over half of the time. If the second person wasn't involved and you'd usually use "me", then "me" stays - ie. "would you like to stay with Fred and
me?" not "Fred and I". "The King and
I are happy to announce..." obviously works because you wouldn't say "Me am happy to announce". Since the title of the thread would simply be "me" rather than "I", "Me and tablets" is grammatically correct.
