How is it for reading, without the keyboard?

Without the keyboard it is lighter, but very easy to read, same as holding a book.

It is very nice for reading, which is the my main use for this tablet, but for heavy work I have a Surface Pro 3.I used to own a Surface RT and Surface 2. Comparing with those for reading is more suitable and you can run legacy apps.

Sorry...can't help with the question. I got it for a friend and he has only used it as a reader.

You can fold it back if you don't want to use it. I read books with the keyboard folded back.

It is too small for my Kindle, so I use it for my wallet and stuff. I imagine you can use it while inside, but I don't know if it will effect key operation or if it effects readability.

It does for reading mostly. It does have flash but it does not work all the time. Also browser will crash very often due to memery limitations.

It's a little like comparing apples to oranges. I love my Kindle Fire. Great for the intended purpose of reading, game playing, even internet searches. I see it more as an entertainment tool. The Asus T 100 can certainly do all of that, but the keyboard allows me to use it for work. It can be used for the same type of entertainment purposes, but I use it primarily for work. The fact that Microsoft Office comes with the purchase, in addition to the fact that you are not paying extra for the keyboard, makes it the best value overall. I absolutely LOVE it. I had looked at Windows Surface, but the Asus beats it by miles in all respects. Kindle Fire: High entertainment value. Asus: the total package. Good Luck!

you can browse from the tv but it is a little clumsy compared to a laptop computer. I plugged in a Logitech K400 and K700 keyboard into the USB ports on the side and they work pretty good with a few quirks.

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am a special education teacher and was thinking about taking the iPad to iep meetings, but did not want to take notes on the built-in, nor do I want to write reports on this thing. The keyboard would make it easier to type anything of length, and now I am pretty are that I will give it a try....thanks again for helping out!

Most of the on-screen buttons are big, maybe 3/4 of an inch wide. I took it when I went to the optometrist because I can make the fonts so large that I could read it without my glasses. It's lightweight. The touchscreen is sensitive, so you don't need to push heavy buttons to turn the page. The basic Nook doesn't have a light of its own -- so you need a lamp to read it, but the battery lasts for weeks.

For a similar case without a keyboard, check out the Poetic StrapBack or Poetic SlimBook. Thank you for your inquiry.

It's not great. The keyboard has to be on an absolutely flat surface, and even then, often I found that I would either not get anything when I typed, or if I pressed harder, would get multiple letters. You have to get the hang of it, and type very deliberately. I haven't used mine much, frankly.

Its pretty good, its not fully black and white but nice. Specially when reading in a darker place and with the device light on.

No, and I didn't even use mine since I have an iPhone. I thought I would not get used to texting on my screen and I missed my keyboard but I was wrong. It is good if you don't have a touch screen though

Yes, in fact I only read with a Nook and that is all I use is the Book Seat. Of course, I read real books when they are being shared and the Book Seat is very comfortable and easy to manipulate when turning pages.

Hi. I don't know what kind of reading your referencing. I also don't know what your looking for. For example. Are you vision impaired? Do you need help? As far as normal day activities and use, it works perfectly for reading. You can make text bigger and smaller if needed. But it is fantastic. The settings are easy to use and the quality is perfect.
