I have cursed various Android/I-thing devices over the years where I had dumb down or convert files to get them to work between laptop and other devices. Can't comment on screen differences, sorry.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but when asking for display quality I was exclusively considering the reading experience. I never had an Ipad or Surface, but from youtube videos I've seen it seems that the display quality of the Ipad is better than that of the Surface from a reading standpoint. Yes, The Surface is Windows based with all the advantages that means, a full fledged PC, but for that I have a Windows notebook. I'm just looking for a textbook reading device. If the Surface display is as good as the Ipad's of course I'd go for the Surface.
