I would just buy a cheap, large screen tablet off of a Chinese site if that is your only use for the tablet. Make sure it supports a high capacity microSD card and having a decent amount of internal memory wouldn't hurt either.

I've had a serious look at these but there are tons of complaints regarding bad quality screens. In particular, being unable to read text unless you're staring at it straight on.

Samsung? Huawei?

Better question: Which app does /sci/ use for reading pdfs?
>>
>>7693342
surface
also use it to write down all my stuff
cheapest is about 600$

just remember win10 spying and all
no cp or other sensetive information
>>
Surface RT
Got it for around $200 USD.

Works like a champ with decent battery life.
>>

That doesn't sound bad at all.
Pros/cons? Sounds too good to be true, especially for that price.

What does /sci/ think of this school?
>>
>>7695573
I thought adobe reader would have been good enough but apparently not.
What do you use anon?
>>
>>7693357
How does that even happen

I recently bought a Nook HD+ for this exact reason.

Managed to snipe the 32GB model off ebay in good condition for about $40.

pros
>It's great for reading: lightweight + high resolution screen (1920x1200)
>cheap as fuck
>expandable storage
>decent battery life (It'll make it a least 2 or 3 days with moderate use)

cons
>The default android favor is weird, and kind of slow (I put Cyanogenmod on mine, which helped a lot)
>>
>Not using an expensive drawing tablet for the sole purpose of reading pdfs at Starbucks to make artfags jelly

Filthy fucking poorfags, this is why you never have any fun.
>>
you don't need a gimp tablet

>inb4 but muh college books are so expensive I have to pirate them all

just go to the library anon
>>
samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1
bought it a year or so ago for 250 buckeroos.
it's cheap, has multi window mode so you can read stuff while writing in another app, and can be used for a long time. only downside is the recharge rate, but i just let it charge overnight.
if you want to use a tablet often, just go with 10 inches or something like that; It's easier to read without constantly scrolling and displays the entire page to be read at a comfortable distance.
>>
>>7696583
>9 inch
How is it for reading pdfs? Can you read it full screen easily?

>>7697047
My library is amazing and I do actually buy the books.
It's just a weight issue, lugging around lecture notes and books and other notes. Would be nice to cut down on the weight.
>>
>>7697047
you realise most university colleges don't allow for you to take collegebooks home, do you? and even then, there is only like 2 pair, and always taken because everyone has the 'brilliant' idea to just use the library books.
>>
>>7697059
That looks good anon, adding to list of stuff to consider.

>>7697069
Mine doesn't have this issue, but again, it's the weight of carrying around books.
