Should I get a Kindle or a Tablet if I want to primarily read?

I also like reading comics or manga, but I don't want to spend more than $200 on a tablet. I don't give a fuck about gaming or shit like that but I don't have a slow UI.

I got a fuckton of books in .pdf, also I don't want co-workers pestering me.

With a tablet/kindle I can dissimulate at least.

I use my Galaxy tab 3, 7 inch I think.

I personally only use it for reading, audiobooks, podcasts, news, and I think thats it, can't think of a use after that. Youtube there's that too.


I like it but I heard that this tab specifically is not the best for e-readers in general. But for a multi-use kind of thing, it works dandy for me. Problem is, it only has 8 gbs of space. I put in a 16 gbs sd card for my books and audiobooks, but I wish I had more space since it runs 4.4 i think and I can't delete stuff from non-pre-installed applications.

Though this can be fixed with rooting, I personally don't care enough since im not writing and deleting stuff. Nor am interested in rooting in general, not a lot of use for me personally.

I think it cost me 139.99 because it was on special. I think you might want to buy a newer tab if you want better specs(?).

Kindle paperwhite dude, I'm not kidding or memeing - it's actually good, go play with one, test one and you'll see it yourself.

No need to have such a low self-esteem man.

Though i do recommend this

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/lenovo/yoga-tablet-series/yoga-tab-3-10/

I'm not a lenovo fan boy (their laptops are hideous) But this is a good tablet.
Problem is, it only has 1GB of RAM. But then again it's 200 bucks

OP the point of ereaders is the eink screen. PDFs are generally a miserable experience but you can try k2pdfopt

eReaders aren't made to read pdf. If you want to read text books, then an eReader is the best choice. If you want to read technical books or pdfs, then a tablet.

Do you work with 12yo kids? You fucking faggot, why do you even care abut what they think? Grow up.

I have a Paperwhite and the screen is too small for the majority of the pdfs I have, however plain text and other ereader formats are pretty nice on it.
