Good PDF Reader Device With Internet Browsing?

ranjix writes "I need a handheld device which would allow me to read ebooks and/or browse the internet while actively and intensely laying in the hammock (and Yes, I do have a hammock in my mom's basement). I'll try to sum up the basic requirements: (good) PDF reader (and ebooks of whatever sort), WiFi connectivity and Internet browser, screen minimum 4.5", readable in sunlight, etc, fairly responsive, at least 4-5 hours battery. Obviously I looked at the usual suspects: Kindle/Amazon tries to grab one into the proprietary formats and their own network (while other ebook readers don't really browse the internet), laptops/netbooks are pretty hard to hold, and the UMPC arena seems a hodge-podge of 'to be released' (Viliv S5? Aigo whatever?) with 'seriously expensive' (Sony, OQO) or plain 'we recommend you don't buy' (Samsung Q1Ex). Is there anything else I could use in the given circumstances?"

    Eh, the mods are bitch-ass cocksuckers anyway. They're best left to wagging their tails and licking peanut butter off of Timothy's Jewish penis. By the way, bitches, today is the birthday of the biggest troll in the world - the USA. If you don't live here, you are sucking us off. Everybody who mods me down is a nullo. I have excellent karma bitches. Fuck religion. Waste your points on me. If you have points then you are FAGGOTS. You sucked enough dicks to earn those doggy bones

    Nigger Kike Spic Gook Wop ZIEG HEIL!.
