    What's the budget? There's a 10" one in DID for €129.99 if you don't want to buy online.

    less than 100 euro, is that reasonable. mostly for pdf reading

    DID have a 9" tablet for €99 but if you can stretch to the other one I mentioned do as it has a dual core processor instead of the single core one in the 9".

    They have a 7" for about €70 afaik,only 512mb ram though.

    Bought a hp slate 7inch recently. Cost me 100 sterling. It's decent enough. Sound could be better but it has 11 hours battery and a micro SD card slot (5quid for 8GB card) so great for films etc.
