Some tablets are better than others. The ipad is one of the best. The Kindle Fire, not so much, IMO. You'd be better off with an ipad, with it's larger screen. But it's still not going to be a 20" computer monitor. Tablets are portable computers. You can't take a terminal with you on the go. Perhaps you should get a Chromebook. They are great for web browsing, have a good size screen and good resolution. And you can attach a mouse to it.

For just reading, no need for a tablet. Get a Kindle or a Kobo. Much lighter, and longer battery life.
