Question

What tablet please?

by May 26, 2013 1:00PM PDT

Am looking for an 8" to 10" tablet.

Only need :simple games
:internet and email
:watch movies
I would not listen to music or read books on it.

I don't have allot of money to spend on it.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

You would set your budget and see what you can get. But I have a question. If you find your tablet at your price but said tablet plays music or can be used to read a book, would that mean you don't want it in spite of it meeting your other goals?

If it played music and I could read a book...that would be fine! My main use would be the email, simple games and internet.

Was looking for around or less than $200.00. I had purchased a cheap IMOTO and now doesn't work. Don't want to make the same mistake, but can't spend allot.

All units have some warranty.

And from what I see, many are not treated with much care. If the imoto worked and fit the price why not get it fixed if in warranty or just get another similar tablet?

Keep in mind at this price you barely get out of the basement but the Kindle Fire HD 7 is very nice (we've had one for many months and no sign of trouble. We also have many others from the office since we write apps. So far I'm partial to the Kindle HD, Nexus models and the Asus Transformers.
