I was close to buying this—the price is right, at least with the preorder discount in place; I think $400 is the upper limit—but it's missing a web browser! I need a good web browser, not this read-later stuff.

I want to be able to load up the homepage of TheVerge.com and browse as I would on any other device, except with text that's as easy to read as if it were on paper. I'd have to use paged scrolling, and images would be black-and-white, but that would be okay—they'd be crisp and clear.

This tablet is close to what I want, but it doesn't look like the software is there. (Or maybe it's hardware too—is one gigabyte of ram enough for a web browser these days if you don't use multiple tabs?)
