I thank everyone for taking the time to answer my enquiry.

I have used my ISP's web mail in the past so I know that I can read and 
delete e-mail that way and leave the rest on the server until I arrive 
home. I feel a little silly now because I didn't think of that when I 
asked about transferring e-mail from the Android tablet.

Reading e-books on my laptop gives me a headache fairly quickly and I 
expect that a tablet wouldn't be any better. I do have a Kobo e-book 
reader and I can read for hours without any problems at all. It does 
have a web browser but it's not very useful.

I'm visiting Indochina where I understand, unlike China, accessing the 
Internet is a simple matter. Wi-Fi hotspots are apparently common and 
hotels seem to all provide wired or Wi-Fi Internet access for their guests.

So, after thinking about it a bit more I think I’ll save my hundred 
dollars for something less frivolous.
