[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4079465, member: 45785"] I've gone through a number of tablets of various sizes over the past dozen years of so. I will never buy another RCA tablet. Lenovo tablets are OK. Last three tablets I've bought that I actually liked, were Samsung. Galaxy Tab 7, 8, and 10.5 The last one I bought for SWMBO, but she said it was too heavy for her, so she traded it for my 8" tablet. Unless all you want to do is read e-books, don't bother with Amazon Fire tablets. They're crippled, even if the screen is nice. Our last one bricked itself, about a year and a half after I bought it, and it was too "obsolete" for them to support it. The newish Samsung Galaxy Tab10.5 will accept a 1tb microSD memory card. I've got several hundred Kindle books on it, over 13,000 mixed Mobi & Epub books, and about 400gb of mostly metalworking books in PDF format, among other things on it. Been sick in bed the past few days, and I've been reading most of the time I'm there, so it's getting about 14 hours a day of use, and though it's battery wants charged at the end of the day, whenever that is, it does pretty good at lasting as long as I need it. I bought it just after they came out, so it was about $400 all told, tablet, case, screen protector, memory card (over $100 for the memory card alone). 128gb memory on the tablet itself, too. It is pretty heavy, but the case I got has a neck strap and a hand grip. With all the crap I've got on it, I still have something like 79gb of free space on the tablet, and 400gb on the card. I've used the thing as a removable drive to transfer files to other computers, too. [/QUOTE]
