While school shopping for books I noticed a lot of them a much cheaper ebook rentail options that work on tablets. While I can just load them on my desktop, I need to have them with me. Anyone know of a good android tablet I could get? Cheap is good but I rather not have something slow and crappy that will just stop working in a few months.

Not sure about cheap, but I'd suggest the Nvidia Shield Tablet :P

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

Aside from the new Shield tablet being a 'gaming' tablet, it's a really good tablet regardless.

 

If I needed a tablet I'd be buying that (which I may soon).

Is it critical that it be Android?

I just have experience with android and plan to make a few android apps for my phone soon as well. I can live without it but it's something I already know how to work with.

Ok. If you're already part of the ecosystem then I guess it would be pretty jarring to switch, right?
