Is this tab ok?
buy for reading only (no video, gaming or other)


Conclusion:
Get Kindle PW 5 Signature after done some survey
Kobo no stock

Thanks for all the feedbacks

1st one got 350+ 1 star reivews.

2nd and 3rd reviews say one of the slowest tablet they ever used..

as always, buy cheap buy twice.
*
Reviews got fake
some users feed back.. slow, screen half is dark, speaker no sound etc

If buy for reading.. I suppose touch screen clear and function is enough probably
and durable 3-5yrs

Only use for reading book

seems like eReader better than tablets for eyes?

eReader = kobo, kindle
Tablet = Alldocube, Teclast, iPad, Xiaomi/Honor/Samsung tablet

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.

Get an e-reader. Lost my Pocketbook Touch HD on a flight. Just got another Pocketbook. Loving Pocketbook due to its lightweight. Kindle is so heavy.

RM699 is not bad
cheaper than Kobo Libra 2

Display definitely KO any e readers
only cons is battery life and durability

Cheaper than Kobo Libra 2
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
