It's Smaller than a Laptop. And it's the main reason the Desktop Computer market is tanking.
First, the New Tablets: Like the one I use, the Google Nexus 7 tablet.
Reading a short story yesterday by W.B. Yeats --- "The Tables of the Law". I was reminded of something someone said about reading Joyce. You have to read some of the heavy-weight Irish writers ALOUD.
I am a Audible Fan-Boy, but this was definitely a shorter work.
Hey, there's an App on my Nexus called Talk-to-Tape where you can use it as a tape recorder.
Like some of the devices I've had in the Past.
My Radio Shack Realistic cassette recorder.
As heavy as a Brick, by the way.

Next up, my GE micro cassette recorder. I still have some
Hour 25 KPFK
radio casts on this. Even some Harlan Ellison.
I tried recording myself reading the short story but had a tough time 'pushing' the record and stop fake buttons on my tablet. Maybe that short story is online somewhere in PDF format for a quick download. A few seconds later, I had the PDF, and opened it with one of my eBook Readers: Moon Plus reader. The PDF was formatted pretty small, so I fiddled with some controls and found: TTS. Which means Text-To-Speech.
You've got to be kidding me...
I've tried a TTS reader before with another ebook reader and I could not find a way to control the speed of the playback.
Moon Reader Plus had a terrific overlay that gave all the functionality you might want.
WOW!
