Yes. I have a Kindle (original version) but I have the Kindle reader software installed on my netbook, desktop PC, Android phone, and on the Asus Transformer Android tablet that I picked up today.

The Transformer has a 10.1 " color screen and it was less than the Kindle DX reader with a 9.7" digital ink screen would have cost. Many of my Amazon and PDF books contain colored text and diagrams that are sometimes illegible on the Kindle. I love the Kindle for reading newspapers and novels but some books need to be seen in color.

HP decided to exit the tablet market a couple of days ago and stores slashed the price of the HP Touchpads to $150 (32GB) and $100 (16 GB) over the weekend. I was going to buy a couple of them because they would have made great eBook readers (the Amazon reader software runs on them) but I could not find any in stock when I started looking around noon today. I have already seen a flood of HP Touchpads selling on eBay for $230+.

The problem with the HPs is that they run a proprietary OS called WebOS, so application development will slow to a trickle now that HP is no longer making the devices. Still, for $100 it would been a steal.
