Tablet as an e reader

C

Hello folks
I want to buy a tablet to be used as an e-reader(pdf , ppt ,doc...etc)
here are few requirements i think are necessary-

-1024*600 display or better
(for A4 size paper 12-16 words per line,30 lines a page with images )
-good battery life
-smooth UI (should be able to handle heavy documents pdf size-300mb)
-good touch response
-rear camera (if possible)
-OS( any with support for multitasking)

possible candidates
-playbook
-galaxy tab series
-Ainol Novo ( don't trust chinese too much )
-kindle(if it is able to handle images smoothly!!!)

no micromax,i-berry---low pixel density

Budget: <20K INR

Prefer to buy from local dealer in Delhi.

search a lot but can't make up the choice

Stay away from the Kindle. It is not meant for PDFs at all. Not good at handling PDFs.

u can find iPad 2 around 22k now ...i feel iOS is still the king when it comes to tablets

otherwise Galaxy tab 2

u can also wait for Google Nexus 7 around 14-15k but its going to launch in October which is too long

I am using PlayBook 16 GB and happy with it, cheap also. But you have to forget about Skype otherwise it is great in terms of build quality and specwise.

Can PlayBook handle heavy documents smoothly???

Yes Ofcourse,without any Doubt.. After all it is meant for multitasking.And so does it do.
Me having Micromax Funbook,i am gonna change it with my sis and she'll buy me a Playbook(64GB) Version.I'll advise you not to go with Funbook at all.

Take a look at those dualcore ips tablets by Ainol if u dont mind chinese products.

Get an ipad2.

have you considered Nexus 7....though not sure when will it launch???

C

Can wait only till first week of 'August'.
nexus is not coming to India by that time.
I'm not a buddy of "Apple",thus prefer any thing but not APPLE.
Any good android tab or shall i go for rim tab.

If u want vfm go for playbook/ainol.most of the tabs >10k will do the job.if you like a bigger screen 10'' go for ipad 2.

galaxy tab 2 is your best bet then...

What about Ainol Novo???
Specs are good

i bought a hp touchpad for 12k loaded up cm9 on it..works like a charm..best 10'' tablet at that price..see if you can find yourself one of those..ebay would be a good site to start..im not too comfortable with these chinese tabs

came across this....Nexus 7 is available online in India

Buy Google Nexus 7 Tablet ? 8GB online, Google Nexus 7 Tablet ? 8GB Price, Reviews @ Indiatimes Shopping

and

Google Nexus 7 Tablet | 8 GB | Android 4.1 | 7" HD Display | eBay

that is way too much than it should be..200$= 11000 bucks..anything above 15k on this isnt justified...
