I want an Android tablet for comics/manga/ebooks
I want at least a semi modern version of Android, at least 1920x1080 screen, and a MicroSD slot.
I'm leaning the Tegra K1 Tablet, is there anything better?
Wanna stay under $300, don't want an iPad because fuck iTunes or needing to jailbreak for functionality.
What functionality do you need that would require jailbreaking it?

Why did amazon stop making "retina" tablets?

>installing non-apple approved apps such as *chan browsers
>watching webms
>decent multi-window functionality
>file system access
None are exactly deal breakers but really push me towards an Android tablet anyways. I have to root the tablet to get decent multi-window on Android too

They have a 10 inch tablet with a res of 1280x800
.
They discontinued the 1920x1200 HDX series.
It seems they love using cheapo screens for max profit now.
All android tablets are trash. You will be disappointed. Get something somewhere with a good return policy.

As if iPads with their walled garden bullshit are better.
At least I can just drag and drop files in a file manager with no hassle on android, and install any app without Googles permission.

He's right. I have a nexus 9. It's hot garbage. And the shield has a tegra chip, so expect shit battery life and getting the surface of the tablet to a toasty 110 degrees. As much as I hate apple, the iPad is the only non-garbage tablet hardware wise. That or the surface line, but they tend to be more expensive than the iPad.

Kindle Fire HD 8 is a great choice. I use it for ebooks, youtube, anime, and emulators. Also has good battery life. Just remember to install the Play Store because the Amazon app store is trash.

What exactly do you use it for? By OP's description, it seems like they aren't doing anything intensive. Just reading/watching stuff.

Reading and watching stuff. That's it. Watch anything on Twitch, Netflix or youtube and the piece of shit gets extremely hot. And from what I saw on XDA, most of them, including mine, develop a hardware bug where the tablet crashes if the battery reaches 30% or less. Which is 2 hours watching videos.

I suppose Android's advantage lies in choice, so OP should just avoid Nexus and look into other highly-regarded tablets.
This device is super comfy.

I've got a nexus 9 as well, and it isn't great, I keep wondering if i should do a factory reset to make it run faster again.

The nexus 9 was regarded as the best android tablet when it came out. I'm pretty sure it's still the only android tablet that comes close to the iPad's ppi.

Check an unecrypting tool on XDA. Apparently, the encryption is partly what makes it disgustingly slow.
I had a 300€ samsung tablet, now i have the 50€ amazon tablet running cm. Only difference is screen resolution and i dont even give a shit. The 2 things i do with my tablet it does them equally well.
If i wasnt a content poorfag i would go for an nvidia shield. Those front facing speakers would be worth an upgrade.

At least the iPad has an os designed for it.
Android on tablets is at worst a buggy mess and at best like holding a comically huge android phone.
