Budget? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:22 2
- up to 300 but don't need to spend that if I don't have to. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 17:33 1
  - I'd say just get the best Fire tablet and sideload the Google Play store on it. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:41
If you don't want an Ipad, definitely get a Fire. -- nm - David May 13, 16:24 5
- (Though I'm not able to watch YouTube TV on the Fire, FYI.) -- nm - Dark Callisto May 13, 16:32 4
  - not available in Canada anyway. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:42
  - Or use any other Google app. -- nm - Ender May 13, 16:39 2
    - The jailbreak thing seems simple - I've done it multiple times for apps that aren't on the Play Store for my phone. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:42 1
      - It's foolishly easy to sideload the Google Play Store onto a Fire tablet. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:23

- My current one is a Tab E which is a hot mess at this point. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:04 1
  - I posted the jailbreak below. If I was going to get an android tablet that’s honestly the route I’d go. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 16:06
The Galaxy Tab(s), I guess? Assuming you don't want to pay the Apple tax - JD May 13, 15:59 1
- Yes, Apple is out. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:00
