Questions About a New Android Reader

[Canerrity]

I want to buy a new tablet used for reading (had kindle before). I am looking at a 10" or 8" minimum. I have some questions. It needs to access my kindle account and google apps. I hear some 10" lack enough resolution to present clear text at that size. What resolution do I need for crisp text?

The following are available in my area:
For 8":
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8"
Lenovo TAB 2 A8 8"
Lenovo Yoga Tab 8" 16GB

For 10":
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1"
Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70 10.1"
ASUS ZenPad 10" 16GB
Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6"
Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10.1"

You can use the Kindle Reader software for Android. That will give you access to your account. As for the tablets. In the 10" the only one that I see here will have decent screen quality is the Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70. At least its a 1920x1200 resolution and the rest are at 1280x800 which is more of a resolution for a 7"

no idea who put that idea in your head, but completely untrue

any modern tablet, of any size is going to be able to show clear text

displaying text isn't really rocket science


I'm not sure what rurocking is smoking, but just off the top of my head, the samsung tabs are all 2,160 by 1,440, the asus tabs are 1920x1080 or better as well

I can read just fine on my Samsung 8".

What he said! Buy the highest res available in your price range. Not all Samsung tablets are equal, which is why there is a significant price difference between the Tab E or Tab A and the high res Tab S (which is not on your list).

The top of your head is misinformed on the Samsung tablets. Tab A resolution is only 1024 x 768 for both the 8 and 10 inch models. Tab 4 resolution is only 1280 x 800 for all models. Only the expensive models have good resolution and it makes a big difference for me for eye fatigue when reading.
