Everyone wants a 10 incher

SaltandSauce · 5 Dec 2013 at 15:24

For a while now I’ve owned a Nexus 7 which I’ve been more than impressed with. It does everything I could want from a tablet, and at half of the price of an iPad, I really can’t complain.

The thing is though, I’ve been using my Nexus to read more and more PDFs, and for reading PDFs, a 7” screen is just that little too small for me. This was confirmed when I was handed an iPad and was able to browse seamlessly from page to page without any issue. The luxury of a 10” screen meant that I never had to zoom into particular articles across the page. Everything just seemed well laid out across the entire screen.

Now I’d really like a bigger tablet at 10” for the sole purpose of reading magazines/books. Now an iPad would be ideal but I don’t have the money for a high end product just to simply read books from. There’s that and the fact that I’m not the biggest fan of iTunes, but then again, who is?

So with that being said, has anyone got anything in mind? It doesn’t need to be brand new and I’m happy to buy second hand if the price is right. As long as it has a large enough screen to read easily from.

Thanks for hearing me out guys (and girls)

Nexus 10?

The ipad air is peobably the best their is but as a boost reader is kind of expensive. Lots of fairly cheap 10 around and most branded ones will be more than ok for a book reader. I would look around for a hot deal for one.

Aren't their any older tablets that make more sense like the HP Slate?

You like the Nexus 7 but want a 10 inch tablet?

So, you want the Nexus 10? Been out a year already

Obvious answer is obvious? :rolleyes:

Maybe there is something about the OP's question we are missing?

I understand the OPs situation. I have a Nexus 7 and after using it for web browsing, Open Transport Tycoon and Dead Trigger with my controller, I want a Nexus 10! I think I'll wait till the new one is released and use the time to think of a way to explain to the gf why I need to upgrade... again...

I recommend you wait for the Nexus 10 2nd gen or buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition - it is brilliant for annotating if you ever need that function.

Possibly the OP doesn't realise there is a 10" version of the tablet he currently owns.

He wants a 10" tablet that isn't too expensive, the Nexus 10 will be perfect.

Sorry for my stupidity!

awesome tablet with really high res display so reading will not be a problem on it!

new one SHOULD be out soon but it might be a bit more expensive.. then again this might have massive price drop like the nexus 4 did right before release but its just a guessing game!

Wait for the new nexus 10 model as it will be a much better investment overall rather than buying last gens dual core model.
