I’ve been using an old iPad for reading comics but the screen size is just a tiny bit too small. The iPad Pro with a bigger screen is completely out of my price range.

Any devices that has a decent screen size and are affordable (in the EU)?

What are everyone else using?

    How about you take a look at the used market? Places like FB marketplace, flea markets, recycling centers. You can often find stuff for cheap there.

      Unfortunately that’s a dead end here. FB is overpriced and everyone wants full price for their used things. Ive tried a bunch of flea markets recently but it’s never electronics and recycling centers here aren’t allowed to sell or give away old devices.

      I would go with a used device if I knew what model to aim for.

        I mean, why aim for a specific model at all? Just look at the options available to you and pick the one that best meets your requirements.

        Also, where in the EU are you that your recycling centers aren’t allowed to sell electronics? I’m in Finland and they are allowed to sell old laptops etc. after they have been purged of the old users content afaik.

          I’m in Denmark, where recycling centers unfortunately are kind of closed off with no selling.

          I mainly want to hear what others use instead of just getting something random.
