current thought process: this anime i like has finished its current run -> maybe i'll read the manga -> but i don't like reading comics on a computer or phone -> hey i should get a tablet! -> now i am researching cheap tablets (recommendations welcome btw)
one i thought was interesting was the TCL NXTPAPER 11 which has a paper-like textured screen that apparently makes it good for reading but the downside appears to be that it has an absolutely potato level CPU in it that struggles with pretty much everything
@lion that should be fine if you only want it for reading, though?
I bought a Tab S7+ to get a big screen and a stylus, and it's worked great, but it feels so silly to have this battleship CPU so i can flip a page every now and then
@RavenWorks Well I mainly want it for reading right now yeah, but i do see myself wanting to use it for other things once I have it & I don't want to be too constrained by a crappy processor
Like I don't need a top end powerhouse but I don't want something that apparently chokes on 1080p youtube playback either
@lion that's fair, yeah!
@RavenWorks Btw the Tab S7+ is 12" right? How do you find that size for reading on? I've been looking mostly in the 10-11" range cos I thought 12 inchers might be a bit bulky/heavy to hold, but a bigger screen would be nice... 
@lion I love it, personally—I can comfortably read graphic novels seeing an entire page at a time while getting a nice look at the art, or blow up ebook text to read with my glasses off without the text wrapping every other word. I've personally never found the size inconvenient or the weight noticeable.
@RavenWorks thanks, that's definitely given me food for thought
