I’ve got a fire HD-10 and it does the job, I guess, but it’s so slow as to make scrolling a basic PDF tedious to the point of being unusable. What I’m looking for is something that I can read my kindle library on, access google drive and dropbox in order to store and retrieve pdfs, epubs etc to read them on as well, a decent sized screen but nothing huge, the ability to run youtube because that’s how I get some of my recipes, and a relatively snappy response (it doesn’t have to be the most amazing ever, just has to react to basic things like opening or scrolling a document quickly enough to not be frustrating)

      I’m quite fond of cheap ones, featuring reasonable specs. By that, I mean 4Gb of RAM or more, good screen resolution, its size (small bezel is welcome) and as clean Android as possible.

      Samsung is usually suffocated by its bloatware, to the point that its specs are very inefficient. I had very good experience with LG, Lenovo, currently am using some Chinese tablet rebranded as “LOCAL BRAND” (patriotic flag waving in the background).

        HAIL HAIL HAIL TO THE PLACE

        HOME OF THE PEOPLE AND THE THING

        WHERE EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND EVERYONE IS NICE

        AND THE SEASON IS ALWAYS SPRING

        I LOVE BEING FROM THE PLACE

        WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE SUN IS WARM

        IF THE PLACE WASN’T THE BEST PLACE TO BE FROM

        I WOULD’VE PICKED SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE BORN
