I want something that will connect with wifi when I travel, basically so
I can check into a hotel, hook up the wifi, surf local restaurant
reviews, and get directions to obscure places the front desk has never
heard of. Anything that relies on the cloud for storage, like Kindle
Fire, is out because I also go to places in the countryside that don't
have any wifi access at all, but I'd like to still be able to use what's
stored on my machine.
I tried a Nook Tablet in B&N, and
immediately ran into problems with the browser. I couldn't scroll past
the bottom of the screen to see what was on the rest of the webpage, and
I couldn't get the keyboard to pull up every time I wanted it. Both
problems are sale breakers.
Is there any way I can either fix
these problems or install a workable browser on the Nook Tablet? Or is
there some other machine I should be looking at instead?
