I currently have a Hisense A5 and a projector in class. Physical books take up too much space. LCD screens for books are verboten.

I'm looking for a device that's good enough to read children's books with. Primary school age. Think Oxford Storytree. The Magic Bus. That sort of thing.

What screen size do you think I need? I don't think reading books off the projector is really going to cut it. I think a little device to bring closer might be better. However, these books are going to be in PDF format. That means a bigger screensize, right?

Some pdf's are 100's of mb. My A5Pro can handle that and so can the projector but... well, this is getting expensive to put near a 5 year old now isn't it?

Can I just confirm that this basically doesn't work and I need to stick to the projector? I also noticed that some reading apps don't work without Google play anyway.

I tried to use an ipad once and the kids were too mesmerized by the screen. I think LCD's are crappy for education. It puts them into Roblox mode.
