In short the two tablets are very close to being equal for my purposes and the Ipad and the Pencil cost nearly twice as much. I can't really say I'm sorry I got it but I would have been happier if I'd gotten a second Samsung.

Yeah, I've never really cared about the Apple Pencil and without accessories, pricing of decent Android tablets are comparable to the basic iPad. Apple pricing is generally expensive but add in the accessories and it gets even crazier.
Plus, I really do much prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio for web browsing, PDF and 2-column landscape reading so for me, the choice was between the more expensive Galaxy Tab S3 and the iPad. That coupled with tablet apps being more polished on the iPad (really more like apps being designed specifically to take advantage of the larger display)...

It's harder to read hand-drawn text than printed text and I can read it just fine.

Technically, I believe that's 1920x1200 (16:10). Which is actually almost perfect for comic books (15:10 or 3:2).
