What is the best tablet for PDF reading?
What is the best tablet screen aspect ratio for PDF and comic reading, 4:3 or 16:10?
What is the best tablet size for PDF reading, 8" or 9.7"-10"?

I'm thinking on getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S pen for notes and PDF reading, but 768p turns me off.
>>
S pen is kinda useless desu. Bought it a few years ago for school, drawing, etc.

I end up just reading on desktop.

Take your pdf, print it out with a laser printer. Now you have the best quality reading experience possible, better than e-ink even.

>>51582006

Whatever Android/iOS tablet you have for other stuff will do PDFs great. I often view them on my phone and it's not any worse than a typical PC monitor. I'll soon learn whether Kobo Glo HD is any good for PDF. I won't be disappointed if it isn't because I got it for novels, vegan cookbooks, and feminist literature.

>>51583002

give comb binding a try
just walk into any staples and use one of the manual display models
you won't look back trust me

4:3 aspect ratio is good. 8 inches is the best screen size, though. Any less and it feels like a phone, any more and it loses portability. I would recommend the iPad Mini 3 if you have the cash, if not then Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, S, or A series can be had for quite cheap. The Nexus 9 might be tempting but it's a piece of shit. Nexus 7 is outdated and slow.

The iPad and Galaxy Tab series all have superior battery life to the competition.

Typing this on a Galaxy Tab 4 as I watch anime at the same time using the split screen.

Screen cap please

Seriously though, reading PDFs and comics on my kindle is boss. I just find my manga or comic on the interwebz throw it into the comic/PDF/jpg to epub converter and download them to my kindle through my computer.

I have the second (I think... got it for Christmas few years back) kindle [with the keyboard] and comics on that sucker are awesome.

I have been using a Xperia Z4 Tablet.

It works pretty great. It has a keyboard so I can type stuff "distraction free".

It is also waterproofed, so when I spill coffee on it at 3 a.m. while I scramble to finish my thesis, it is actually okay.

>tfw I'm literally trying to finish my thesis because I need to send it on Monday

Hey! Me too!

Got ~21 pages left to type and I just can't fucking type a word.

I read all my textbooks and regular books on my iPad Air 2, the text is really crisp and nice. The battery life is great and it's ultra portable, the colors are so warm and nice too for watching porno on

Is it not enough to just imagine abstract concepts while you masturbate?

>Can't imagine what its like to write a monstrous thesis paper
How the fuck is it done? I can barely pump out 8 pages.

I've been using my FIRE HD 7 for PDF reading. Would be nice to have flawless conversion from PDF to epub/amz3 for all my school books.
