Q. How much are they? Are they worth the buy? There's a lot of different brands, which is the best one? How much do you have to pay for books once you own a kindle? I saw one at Barnes & Noble and am very interested. Thank you!
A. Kindle is a specific ereader by Amazon. Barnes & Nobel's ereaders go by the name Nook.
Ebooks are priced similar at both stores and average around $10, usually a bit less than physical books.
Buy a Kindle or Nook Touch if you're most interested in long-run reading. Their E Ink Pearl display is much better than Nook Color's LCD (backlit) screen for reading text. Deciding between a Kindle and Nook Touch: Kindle advantages: keyboard, 3G model available, 4G internal memory, Text-To-Speech, MP3 support. Nook Touch advantages: touch screen, less page-turn flashing, EPUB support, SD memory expansion port, library borrowing now (vs later this year for Kindle).
Buy a Nook Color if you're most interested in apps and games and browsing the web. Reading long-run text is as tolerable as it is with a computer monitor, and the Kindle's and Nook Touch's capabilities in the non-reading areas pale in comparison.
[Buy an iPad if you are ok paying a considerable premium and want the best app experience, the best PDF support, the best web browsing experience, and value color support over E Ink Pearl display's book-like reading experience.]
Pricing (2011-07-29):
Nook Color: $250; Nook Touch: $139;
Kindle WiFi ($139); Kindle WiFi WSO ($114); Kindle 3G ($189); Kindle 3G WSO ($139).
1. WiFi or WiFi+3G: Choose WiFi+3G if you wish to download ebooks or browse the web when away from a WiFi hotspot. An ereader with 3G support will be able to connect like a cell phone. Unlike a cell phone, however, there is no monthly fee for Kindle's 3G service. Note, though, that the web browser on Kindle isn't so great. Also, once an ebook is downloaded, neither WiFi nor 3G is needed to read it.
2. Special Offers or not:
Kindle With Special Offers Pros:
* $25 (WiFi) or $50 (3G) less expensive.
* May save more if special offers are purchased.
* Offers have been sweet so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_kspot_ksupport?nodeId=200671290
* Ads do not show up in the middle of reading an ebook.
* I've heard only praise from those who buy Kindle WSO.
Kindle With Special Offers Cons:
* May just dislike ads in principle, even outside of reading experience.

Laptops have display switching in most cases, but operating with different images would take more research so the question is precisely what you are trying to do.
With the decent processor and video card, but that card still below a class-1 level, in gaming you get faster frame per second and higher game settings on the smaller LCD as 720p, but if you like the bigger image of an external display and higher definition, depening on the game settings you can make it work. Not sure of the extra stress on the graphics system operating both displays at once. You are starting from the 720p, next level to the external-only in 1080p, and now talking driving two displays that stresses the GT 540M even more. I personally prefer the Lenovo Y570's that got the GT 555M as a little stronger chip, but that is too late now anyway.
For the "how to" it should be in the manual, or browse Acer web site and the internet.
Maybe someone more familiar with the procedure could jump in. Two of the same images is a Fn-PF7 usually. Check the keyboard and it goes one, the other, or both, and should also be n the control panel in Displays
Adding: I am only consider laptops and not sure you really want to have three displays as VGA, HDMI and your main system LCD. That would be a trickier question.
