[LUG] Cheap tablet

[Neil via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently we, that is to say the wife, decided we should have a few more 
short breaks away. (In this country but, being pensioners, we can go out 
of season and get some very good deals.)

The wife has an iPad (I know, but she said it was her money so she would 
spend it on what she liked.) It is easy to pack and to take with us, and 
she is able to keep in touch with emails, facebook etc while away. It 
also takes some half decent photos.

I am obviously not going to pack a 17" inch laptop to take and I do not 
have anything suitable otherwise. (I do have a mobile phone, but it is 
not a smart phone.)  I am thinking about getting a cheap tablet, mainly 
for keeping up with emails and checking local information.

So I have been looking online. And, as usual, I have finished up very 
confused. (I don't want anything to do with an iPad, or with Windows, so 
that Android is all that is left apparently.) One of the cheapest so far 
is the Amazon Fire, which has some mixed reviews and some others from 
China. I am wary about those.

If anyone on the list can come up with some ideas/suggestions I would be 
grateful.

Many thanks,

Neil
