Hello everyone,

I cancelled my textbook orders for 4th year varsity. ****ing R3900 worth of paper pisses me off to no end. I've found all my textbooks online so I need to grab a tablet to substitute...

So basically my requirements are that I need to be able to read my textbooks without ****ing up my eyes and hopefully be able to take notes with it as well. I'm not sure if this means I need a FHD display, from looking in the shops the 7" tablets seem way too small. I'm thinking 10"/9.7" or maaaybe 8.4".

The kind of notes I take are usually mathematical/engineering kinda notes so lots of diagrams and not really much words. Is the galaxy s-pen tablets a gimmick or actually useful? I'd also like a LTE or at least 3G enabled tablet as class notes are usually given online only.

Battery life not that important, class is only from 8-5pm and I dont mind charging everynight. Needs to be android as the apps I develop for my phone need to be on their as well.

I really wanted to get the amazon fire HD 10, full HD screen and large. No 3G or LTE though but at $99 I could just get one of those portable router things from mtn but amazon refuses to ship to SA still :erm:

My budget is about 4K but anything cheaper that would do the job is great. I'm mainly looking for experiences that you guys have had reading etc. on your tablets
 
First Tip. Don't beat people to death and end up with a bloody tablet.

Secondly We don't speak "***********"

You might be a breaker and a cool guy where you are from, But we and the rest of the world in general use firm and properly constituted language.
