I was given a dated Archos tablet. After some messing about I can see the utility in them, but it can no longer run the latest versions of my Android apps.

I'm completely new to tablets, but I'm hoping to find something cheap and cheerful for reading (eBooks and my own notes), and some light internet browsing.

I'm thinking about one of the ASUS ZenPads, probably the bigger 10.1" one. Could this feasibly be used for comfortably study?

ASUS ZenPad 10 looks alright. Picture quality is a bit naff according to reviews, but if you're only using it for light browsing and ebook/document reading, it should be sound as a pound.

For a tiny bit more money, you could get a convertible Windows tablet/laptop. The keyboard clips on and off with magnets, so you can use it as either a pure tablet or a dinky laptop. The tablet side of things is less slick than Android, but it'll probably be more useful for study.

I'll never understand why companies persist in thinking putting magnets in electronics is a good idea.

So you have to buy another one.

Holy shit tablets have come a long way since I got mine. Looks like it's time for me to upgrade. Is any particular manufacturer considered to be leading the field at the moment?

I can't compare it to Android tablets but the Kindle Fire tablets are pretty good value for money. Only problem is that they are by default hooked into Amazon's app store not Google Play, so quite a few apps available on Android are either not maintained as frequently or completely absent. I'd say it's great for reading ebooks and light internet browsing but if you have want to use a lot of specific non-Amazon apps you may be out of luck.

You can root them then replace the hideous launcher, disable the ads and install Google Play. I've been using my a while just for reading and a Spotify remote. I can't complain for £30.
