What makes a tablet device a good e-book reader? A good, high resolution screen, and fast enough processor.

I have experience with these as e-book readers, and recommend them -

1. The Nexus 7 (2013 version). High res, high quality.

2. Nook HD 7. High res, high quality, budget price, SD card slot.

3. Kindle Fire HD 7 (2013 version). High res, high quality, budget price, but not as versatile as the others.

I enjoy reading on all three. I usually use the Moon+ Pro reading app, which is highly customizable. Good dictionary support.

I prefer the 7" screen for reading on. I don't, however, read PDFs. For that you might want to investigate the Nook HD+, the ipad, or perhaps the Kindle Fire 8.9".

I want to buy a tablet device, but I don't know what makes a good tablet device a good e-book reader. I guess having a decent sized screen is important? Battery life doesn't matter for me because I'll be using it inside most of the time.

However, it's really important for me to be able to highlight passages and be able to store these highlights some place. On the PRS-T2 I came up with a perfect system which I outlined here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225769

Is there any way I can use this system on a tablet device?

Please help me!
