Get a Kindle Paperwhite 5. I use mine everyday and a purchase that's paid itself back way more than the price I paid for it.

Ada cadangan brand/model apa?
Kat Msia fully supported ke?

Dua dua pun support, just Amazon you probably have to use other country account if want to buy books. If download your books from another source, like johnny depp source, can download on computer or phone and email to amazon account. Cadangan is Kobo, because new one got colour better than kindle only black and white

Yeah, but depends if you want to have your tablet as just a mono-tasker or multi tasker. At least a few years down the line, I can recycle the tablet to be an android auto head unit for my car lol

E reader is whole different story. Buy 5 year old also won't feel outdated because the battery is so freaking long lasting. Lose 30% also nvm, from 6 weeks become 4 weeks battery life. Tablet not as long lasting

Yeah same. I rarely read anything lately.

I'm getting too distracted on many things. Keep watching tiktok, movies and doing other stuffs.

I need to get back to reading again. 🥲😂

Tiktok and reels is really time sucker. Some more no benefit at all

I bought Huawei tablet for my mum.. Around RM 400 - RM 500.. Cheap and big.. Easy to use as well. Only setback is no Google Playstore to download apps
*
"Only setback"?

I'd say no YouTube and Gmail is a huge setback don't you think?

RM699 is not bad
cheaper than Kobo Libra 2

Display definitely KO any e readers
only cons is battery life and durability
*
Again depends on usage lo. If use as media tablet is very good value particularly with 4G sim slot and microsd slot. Unbeatable for streaming and watching shows, but the display not 1080p la. Books still e-reader good, unless you want to read comics/manga

e readers don't have the the market of scale.. price won't come down even after sooooo many yrs

Have stylus to take notes is a big2 plus
also Tabs can replace my phone for YouTube tasks.. so more downtime to my phone to prolong AMOLED life span
*
Tab A9 cannot support S pen, unless you say outside those generic stylus

I got 1 number only
can apply 2 Sim card to put different device?

can side install YouTube
and some ebook apps should be no problem
*
Used to have, now probably not. Just buy another prepaid la, now RM30 a month got unlimited data already.

Side install apk for me not secure. If give kids or old people too much hassle and unsafe. Trust apps from play store only. Trust me, I used to have cheap huawei tablet too, that was too troublesome even for such cheap price. How also cannot install Google services
