Currently I have a Nexus 7 (2012), and the wife has (or had) a Kobo Arc 7 HD.

Reason I said HAD is that it's decided to die; she told me it had been getting slower and slower, and today is stuck in the Recovery menu, with whatever we try doing there, when it reboots it returns too the recovery menu.

[Yes; i can get ADB to see the device, and if I can track down an image for it will try loading it].

Asking her what she'd like to replace it, she knows I've been happy with the Nexus 7 (although to be honest it is getting a bit slow these days).

Yes I've been able to track down a retailer in town that has the Nexus 7 (2013) in stock, but I'm wondering what other tablets people think highly of, and ideally (in my opinion) run a fairly stock version of Android, and, is from a manufacturer who will continue supporting the device.

Would like a 7" screen, Android 5.x (or at a pinch 4.4).
