I have a motorola tablet of 8.4", color. I had a kindle( 7") before, I found that u need at least 8.4" for comfortable viewing of magazines. My girl friend has a 10" iPad and that´s a pain, too big and heavy. And color is a must. You need hours before charging and fast charging. You need HDMI, SSD, micro USB and phone connection.
