You want to be really careful with which tablets you use and how old they 
are.  Reportedly a 'current' Kindle Fire works great and can be easily set 
to work as a kiosk, but my experience is not necesarily for all uses given 
the oddities of the Kindle browser.

My one-gen-older 8" Fire wasn't good enough for me here but that might be 
nuances of the Home Assistant stuff I display here. My 2015 Samsung Tab2 
tablet also could 'not' display everything I cooked up with node-red and 
HomeAssistant as its os isn't updated any more.

A official pi display+case for $90 if you have the pi already is a 
guaranteed win long-term.  Sometimes you just have to invest a few more 
bucks to future-proof yourself.  But 'lots' of people go the tablet route...
