My friend is planning on purchasing the tablet below:

Coby Kyros MID1042 10.1" Android 4.0 8GB with Wi-Fi (Black) | Lazada
₱ 5,349.00

Android 4.0 Ice Cream sandwich
1GB RAM
10.1" Capacitive Multi-Touchscreen, 1024 x 600 (WSVGA)
Allwinner Cortex™-A8 1.0 GHz
3.5mm Headphone Jack & Built-in Speaker
Built-in Microphone
USB 2.0 High Speed Full Size and USB 2.0 Mini-USB Connector
Front Facing VGA 0.3MP

This tablet will be used primarily as an e-reader for Epub and PDF Ebooks and as a browser too. It won't be used be heavily as my friend will still be relying on his desktop for his computing needs.

Does anyone have any experience on this tablet? Can this be bought at brick and mortar stores or is it only available at Lazada? Is there any other brand to consider along the same price range and screen size.

I am looking for the helpful and insightful inputs from the board. I told my friend that my tech purchases were all based on recommendations from the members of the board. So far I am very happy with my purchases
