I've got hand tremors, and I'm looking for a large tablet that's cheap and reliable. Mostly reading comics, books, browsing, watching videos, and some social like Lemmy. I don't like Apple stuff. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Any suggestions? I didn't mind older/used stuff, or off brand, smaller or foreign stuff. I don't know if Linux does tablets but I'd be open to that as well.

Battery life isn't really an issue. I'm not going to be using it that way, it's just for ease of access at home

The Xiaomi tablets are pretty great and reliable - Xiaomi Pad 7. The Alldocube tablets are very decent too - iPlay 60.

There is also the Fire HD 10.

I've used all 3. Great tablets at different price points.

I'll look at the other two, but I'm against the Fire on principle. I have a Kindle and its never been connected to the Internet.

My kids have Kindles and they make my life miserable almost daily. What a horrible android fork, if I used that word correctly.

You can use Fire Toolbox to disable the crap on Fire and install Play Store.
