Kindle vs. Android Tablets..?

Hello Fluther,

I am interested in owning a Kindle device, because it’s really helpful to just carry my entire personal library with me and just pull it out and start reading whenever and wherever I feel like it.

But at the same time, I can also see that Android-powered devices (Notice, I said Android, NOT iPad because I loathe Apple products) such as Samsung’s Galaxy Tab can do so many other things besides storing e-books (e.g.: Internet, telephone, storing music, etc), and they’re almost as cheap (or expensive) as the Kindle (Kindle Deluxe, to be more accurate). Of course, not to mention the great advantage of having a colored screen as opposed to Kindle’s non-colored screen.

So I’m not quite sure what to buy, and I could really use your thoughts about that.

Thank you very much.
