Just a further note. My phone is Android 13, and the tablet we saw this morning 
is Android 10, but don't touch an Android 12 one. They are totally different 
and hard to get the hang of.

Hi,

After years of resistance, I'm going to get a tablet!  Ideally it would be one 
that ran Linux of course, but the main specs needed are good resolution and 
plenty of contrast.

The reason for this is my deteriorating eyesight.  Generally speaking, I'm OK 
with distance vision, but reading small text on coloured backgrounds is 
becoming increasingly difficult.  This means that my magazine subscriptions are 
largely wasted because I cannot read them.

However, I do know that I can read PDFs of the magazines on my wife's iPad and 
on my desktop monitor, so getting a decent tablet is probably the most 
convenient solution.  If possible, I don't want to spend a fortune, so Samsung 
Galaxy Tabs at circa £1000 are out, and in any case the performance of this 
type of device is probably way over the top for reading a magazine.  However, I 
am prepared to pay for the kind of performance I need, hence this query.

Thanks in anticipation.
