See, why i keep repeating myself is of your requirement. Which is almost similar to mine.
Reading and Video(Utube, Prime etc) is my primary usage also. 7" doesnt make sense for this. No matter how good the screen is. And also, seeing my phone are pushing 5". the 7" is not a upgrade or a form factor I desire.
It just lays around. I spend way too much amount on this tablet novelty. If i have to use it, it has to be 10". I decided. Then went on with picking one. See most tabs are heavy and not easy to use in 1 hand. Still I bought 3 of em.
None were high end. But "under priced heavy weights". And coupled with Android, it ruined the experience for me. Some screens I didnt like, Some had lag issues for me(just for me), Some battery just sucked. The experience is not something i didnt want to repent. Anyways, whenever a tablet comes, I see it compared to ipad. So this time I though will check it out.
The display I dont have to say more. Its the benchmark now. Battery, easily 3 days with mild usage. Wifi including. I dont use much apps, I dont. Just the ones I want. So i even checked for paid ones, as its a one time investment.
But for comics cloud reader came highly recommended and free. The file transfer was also easy for me. And this comes from a guy who hate itunes. Youtube and Amazon Prime has native apps. so that also done. TE, also.
.
So does ebay. Usage experience is far ahead of android in tablets. I have to admit that.
Now comes the main factor for me. And you. The form factor. It hard to believe this is a full size tab. Its light and manageable. You know, like natural. My brain doesnt allow me to prop something in my hand for long time. Nor does it for anyone I believe.
We will find a comfortable position for sitting or lying down. And the ipad complements it very well. I dont know how to say it otherwise, it doesn't strain my hand that much or most times at all. This is purely my personal experience. They did make it light enough as a 7" current gen tabs with a full screen. I have a full body protector, I am afraid to put this in a case as it will make it heavy. Or will go for one with easy removal. Well I did, Logitech folio.
You are also just like me. I feel. you review it like hell in online forums, videos and what nots and jump the gun. And in the end will get bored and just throw it away.
. I have a long list of items(My useless download rig, NEVER USED Sony DVD Handycam, PS Vita, Paperwhite kindle, this one perhaps i didn't give a chance yet, JBL Flip is a waste...utter waste) with me like that.Not coz they are bad, but they dont suit my needs and time. But I am sure ipad is not making that list.
No wonder every tablet got ipad to beat or get compared to. And am not a iFan. But its hard to ignore the obvious advantages this thing gave me and not to sing praises for it.
My iOS experinces are with iPod Touch 5th Gen 32 GB and iPad Air 32GB Wifi.
