I'm looking to finally upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (SM-T500) that I've been using for years.

My Current Tablet

The relevant Tab A7 specs are:

• 247.6 x 157.4 x 7 mm (9.75 x 6.20 x 0.28 in)
• 10.4 inches, 307.9 cm^(2) (~79.0% screen-to-body ratio)
• 1200 x 2000 pixels, 5:3 ratio (~224 ppi density)
• Android 12
• Qualcomm SM6115 Snapdragon 662
• Octa-core (4x2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver)
• 32GB 3GB RAM (4GB RAM Plus)

What I Use My Tablet For

I have been utilizing this daily for years. I primarily read comics on it (via Mihon, Marvel Unlimited, DC Universe Infinite, Shonen Jump, and Viz Media). I also have a large collection of Tabletop RPG related PDFs (game books and supplemental material, pretty much all of it a larger than regular size).

I also would like to use it for browsing my purchased RPG related content on the Demiplane site. And potentially the Alchemy VTT, but I do not know how well that will work on a tablet.

I would not use it for reading regular ebooks. I have a Kobo for that.

Occasionally, I will stream Netflix/Hulu/Crunchyroll/whatever.

I am interested in upgrading for a few reasons.

1. Bigger screen
2. Higher quality screen for ease of eyes/reading
3. Performance upgrade (this is less important, but if I'm buying a new tablet, I'd like it to perform better).

Initial Thoughts

My first thought was the NXTPAPER 14. At such a large size, it would be similar to reading an omnibus-sized graphic novel at all times. This is awesome. It's got more memory, more storage, the screen has the nxtpaper technology.

The large size would make it perfect for my TTRPG related activities as well.

HOWEVER, after doing a little more research, I had a few concerns that pushed me to look at the 11 Plus. They are as follows:

• The sheer weight of it. I mostly read in bed or on the couch, so this probably wouldn't really be an issue.
• The 60hz refresh rate. I don't really care that much about this, but I noticed some people mentioning ghosting.
• The pixel density. At only 202 ppi, that's actually LOWER than the Galaxy Tab A7. However, I am not an expert in this at all, and I don't know how much of a difference this would really make in practice.

The 11 Plus resolves all of these issues, but it is only slightly larger than my current tablet.

tldr

Which NXTPAPER tablet should I get to upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (SM-T500). Currently leaning toward the 14, but I'm just slightly concerned about its weight and the pixel density.

This was a bit difficult to title, so let me try to explain myself a little better.

I'm looking for books that feature lore or events that happen off-page that are partially (or even mostly) obscured from the reader, yet are still very important to the overall narrative.

This is obviously something that is difficult to do in a written format, but its something that has always fascinated me.

I'm talking about things like:

• The Cloverfield franchise
• Malazan Book of the Fallen book series
• The film Angel's Egg
• Dark Souls/Elden Ring lore
• The Half-Life series (especially the G Man)
• Sort of the anime Ergo Proxy or Death Parade or Paranoia Agent
• The TV series Twin Peaks
• The Nier Franchise
• Bit of a stupid example, but the Snyderverse sort of as well, given all the weird parts of Batman v Superman and his cut of Justice League
• Some of the elements of the director's cut of Rebel Moon

I like narratives where you can tell that the pieces are there, but you can't quite tell how they fit together (or if you can piece them together, its a bit difficult and reveals some pretty monumental things when you do).

Hopefully this is clear enough? It's a bit difficult to describe and I know this is a rare thing to find in book form. I'll read basically any genre. I just like this kind of thing.
