I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5" tablet shortly before I started. I got it through Sprint (T-Mobile now) so I only needed cellphone signal to have internet. It is without a doubt my workhorse! I don't use it for ELD stuff, as my company gives me the equipment for that. But, so glad I got a tablet. I use it for everything except phone calls and text messages (for whatever reason, tablet does have texting or calling capabilities enabled).
Anyway, not an Apple person, never have been, but not going to rag on them here. I have my reasons, but to each their own.
Tablet Suggestions??

As to the durability of Apple devices, just bought an iPhone SE2 to replace my iPhone 6S+ which I got SIX YEARS of use out of it. I paid a bit of coin for that 6S+ but after Six Years I do believe I got my money’s worth out of it.
And it’s not just that the Hardware lasted Six Years but it still qualifies for iOS 15 which was just released. So after Six Years, it’s still getting all the current and newest iOS updates too. (Not all new features work on the old girl but everything I need was updated) I know that was important to me too. And not pushed into new hardware to get updates.
I’m currently looking at the new iPad mini Gen 6 as well. I’ve had my iPad mini Gen 5 now for Three Years and if I replace it, I’ll hand it down to my sister who will probably get another 3 Years out of it. Same will probably be true of the software updates too.
Again, all competition is good and may whatever hardware/software one buys, I hope it serves them well. -
My wife prefers her kindle, but thats apples and oranges, she likes it because its superior at the ONE thing she uses it for, reading in bed.
Brother brought this up a night or so ago, (he needs a tablet for takimg jobsite dimensions) and 10 inch was too big for him to comfortably manage.

Competition is good for all. -
I guess I am just a Neanderthal, but I much rather read an actual book/magazine. I have a kindle fire it is actually on my nightstand. My sister gave it to me about a year ago because she bought it by mistake and had rather have a Samsung tablet! I tied it to my Amazon account and sometimes use it to order stuff off Amazon. To each their own I guess.

All good for one reason or another.
