Question 8" Tablet for reading

[spthomas]

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019 version. It's pretty slow (geek ench single core score around 150, multicore around 500). I really like this size, very handy, but don't see many others anymore. This size. I mostly just check news, sites like this. etc. I don't watch movies or even many videos. And I've never used any Apple devices so I'd rather stay with Android that's familiar. Any ideas?

I have the Lenovo Tab M9 with 4 GB RAM, which has been a very good all around device (and very affordable as well). I used to have a Galaxy Tab A7 lite, which got really sluggish, which is why I switched to this tablet -- haven't seen any significant drop in performance over the years. It's only 720p, but for this size screen, I think that's totally acceptable. Plus it has nice stereo speakers.

It's more than enough to read books watch YouTube and movies. Had to basically do some lite hacking to get it to run Google apps though.

I have a Fire 8" and I got it for reading Play books on a larger screen. (I am doing this through the browser, since Amazon doesn't have Google Play App support). They're pretty cheap...about $70.

You can get Google Play services and playstore installed on fire tablets it's pretty easy really. Just just do a search for it in your browser and download and install 3 files. Takes about 20 minutes depending on download spreads.
