At the moment I am using an iPad Pro with the Goodreader app to read my large complex pdf files. It works great but the main problem for me is the size and weight of the device. I want something smaller and lighter. The iPad mini would be perfect, but I just don't want to shell out that kind of cash for an iPad mini only to use as an eReader. So I've been looking at available Android devices that are about the same size and there only seem to be two.

I have actually used a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 (SM-X115) 8.7" tablet and it would be perfect for me - except one thing, the screen quality is really poor, and the text is not clear and crisp on this tablet at all. I recently learned about another tablet of the same size by a company I've never heard of: ALLDOCUBE. They make a tablet called the iplay 60 8.4" which has a great looking high resolution screen, but I have not personally used this one and am hesitant to buy it because 1) I've never heard of the company 2) a lot of reviews about failures/malfunctions and 3) the company offers no warranty whatsoever for their product, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence!

Are there any better options out there that I don't know about? Would appreciate any suggestions you have and if anyone actually owns the iPlay 60 I'd like to hear about your experience with it and whether or not you recommend it.
