What tablet does /sci/ use for reading pdfs?
>>

bump for info

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?

>>
>>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
>>
>>7693346

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.
