To check I was not misleading myself, I have just tested with a book containing text and detailed colour images and compared it with the same book on my 8" (1536 x 2048 resolution) Asus tablet and my MacBook Pro Retina - the latter two are better screens by far but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the images or the text sharpness on the little Lenovo.

I do not dispute that an iPad is a very nice unit with an excellent screen, but I question that reading a book needs that level.

In the UK, an iPad mini 4 costs 10x more that I paid for the Lenovo. If it is a tablet to simply read a book and browse the internet, that is an awful lot to spend for a sharper screen (and probably better battery life).
