tablets

[meganbmoore]

 I'm looking into getting a tablet.  I'll mostly be using it to read manga (I can read manga on my kindle, but I want a larger screen) and then for netflix/crunchyroll/amazon prime when traveling.


Any recommendations?

Yeah, I'm hoping to find good deals during the holiday sales. otherwise, i'll have to wait for tax refund when I have a little more leeway.

I have been looking into the kindle fires, but mostly because I'm used to kindle.

I'll keep an eye on the Nexus 7, as it seems likely to end up in my range.

Also, I don't know how much this matters to you, but I think there are several Android devices (pretty sure the Nexus devices, not sure about others) with better screen resolution than Apple's Retina screen. I do think that helps a lot when you're reading things that are scrunched down a bit, such as comics on a 7" tablet. That said, I was completely baffled by Android the first time I tried to get around it. YMMV!

I've had the android system for my phone for a couple years now, so hopefully I'll be ok if I go with that. (had an optimus, just got a motorola)

Link spammage!

Good EReader is the blog that I check that posts reviews of ereaders but also videos comparing two ereaders, which I find helpful.

Also, looks like Nook HD is currently on sale at Groupon for $99, and I saw the HD+ going for $129, though I can't find it right now... sometimes you have to browse through all their stuff b/c it doesn't show up on search, GRRRR.

(Sorry for all the commenting!! Have just been dreaming of tablet for comics reading and therefore collecting info even if I never end up purchasing...)
