I only have programming/technical books and some AOT manga but that's pretty much it. I'm hesitant to buy a dedicated eReader tho, cause I want to be able to use the device in question for other things as well and not just reading (maybe some games or streaming).
Well, I am considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" (R2,499) but I'm still looking around for more options.
Will check it outI have a Lenovo Tab 4 8" and it's still going strong after a few years. Excellent battery life, sound, etc.
The later version is this, I think:

Obviously you likely won't get many security or OS updates, but that seems to be standard for many Android devices here in SA.
Not sure if I'm crossing a line here, stop me if I am. Looking to sell my Samsung Tab A8. I find it a bit slow for my use, so want to get another rather.
It's fine bruv, but sorry when it comes to electronics I'm hesitant to buy secondhand.

Does it have google services or is it one of the newer Huawei devices that do not have Google services on it?I am also considering getting a tablet for reading E-books. I am currently looking at the Huawei MediaPad T5 10. It has a 10.1" screen display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. This particular model also comes with 3GB memory and 32GB storage . It only runs Android 8 but that's okay for my purpose. Has some good reviews on Youtube.
At R3299 it is the cheapest I have seen with this spec. (There is a slighly cheaper model with 2GB memory and 16GB storage)

Pretty sure it will cause it’s before cutoff date. My M5 def has and think they’re about same age as t5
This tablet was released in July 2019 so it was before they were stopped from using Android. From some of the videos I've seen it does have the Google play store.
