I want to add that I bought the OnePlus Pad, which has been great for my use case of mainly reading epubs and PDFs. The aspect ratio is 7:5, which is much better for reading than many of the aspect ratios of other tablets I looked at. Also the battery life is pretty good, but I also don't use it for anything computationally intensive
Edit: It's not exactly cheap though, costing $480. But there's a sale right now for $400, which is still not exactly cheap. But I think it was worth the price for me
Genuinely curious, but for that use case and price, did you consider an eink tablet? I love my supernote for much the same use case.
Yeah I did, but I didn't have another tablet, so I figured if I was going to spend $400-500, I might as well get a tablet first, and then branch out to e-ink displays if I feel that I want a more paper like display down the road. Thanks for the suggestion though! I'll have to check out Supernote if I'm in the market- seems like it has sync integration with Google Drive which is really nice
Yeah, totally get where you're coming from! Dev/Community engagement used to be fantastic (probably still is it's just mostly on Reddit) best of luck!
