I can't even make out a huge difference between the hi-res LCD and the AMOLED screens - they both look great! There are some less expensive options for cases on Amazon, like the "IVSO Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Ultra Lightweight Slim Smart Cover Case with Auto Sleep/Wake Function" for about $10 and free shipping. Seems to have pretty good reviews (4 stars). I'll also get the Amazon Basics travel case for extra protection while transporting. And a 64GB mSD card. And perhaps a bluetooth keyboard....hmmmm what else?

I like the idea of a larger screen, but I have really small hands and even my 9.7" Kindle DXG, which is heavier, is uncomfortable to hold while reading for long times. I only use the 6" reader. So, I am leaning towards the 8.4" even though magazines will require zooming in to read.
