This seems like a bit of a non-starter. I mean, people who buy tablets are probably going to go for an ipad, Kindle Fire or possibly a Nexus 7. It will be interesting to see what the quality is like.

Tesco seems to be a pretty big chain supermarket with a large customer base. I'm sure most of the customers aren't going on sites like MR, CNET or ZDNet to find out which tablet is the absolute greatest (for the time being). They just want a tablet that works, doesn't look or feel cheap (they may not even care about that!), and doesn't cost too much. I'm not saying this tablet will set the world on fire but I imagine it will generate some good sales for the company and also get consumers to buy other items (such as movies from their online store). Plus, the specs aren't bad, especially for the price. I say this as someone who owns a Nexus 7. |

It's a good price, a decent spec, and they can get it in front of a lot of people. I expect this to do well. I'm considering getting one myself. Although I can help feeling, from the name, that it ought to be associated with Lidl rather than Tesco.

Question is what eBook library does it access? Google Play? No doubt you can install the usual suspects, Kindle app, Kobo etc.

It's a generic tablet, so yes, Google Play.

That "one user" quoted was presumably of the female persuasion.
