Alessandro, I have one of the cheap Wacom tablets -- the Graphire --
which has a 4x5 inch working surface (that's a little smaller than A6).
I think it's terrific! I find the pen is excellent for Photoshop image
editing, and I use the cordless mouse (included with the tablet) the
rest of the time. I wouldn't be without it.
