You don't have to hook up to the Internet or take photos if that is an option. Go with the one that is economical and can read books on. I've an android tablet with a kindle app to read my kindle books on, have to recharge daily. And a first generation kindle with no backlighting which works so long as I've a lamp and the charge lasts for days which is very nice.

Make sure the books you want to read are compatible, or you have the software on it to read them. Go with price and what your tech guy recommends for reading.
