which reader/tablet/<whatever>

[ito]

Hi,

Have you seen Project Gutenberg.  There are alot of books there that are
out of print and published in a variety of formats.  I have gotten stuff
onto a older kindle (black and white) with the cable that it comes with
(usb) plugged into the computer, in windows to kindle, dragging and
dropping to the drive.

Other than that I think its much easier (and transparent) in common
usage with wifi or cellular plan. Just navigate and select I would
guess.   

I looked around on the web and found some stuff that might be of
interest to you,

there was a thread ( it appears ) on this list last year about the
potential of using FreeBSD on tablets:

http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Vivaldi-Tablet-td5593818.html

Also there is a text to speech add-on for firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/text-to-voice/

Anyway,

checked a bit thought it might help.
