Coby Tablet - Is it a Good Purchase?

[ghosthunter]

^GH, can you recommend a 10 inch tablet around the same price range?

My friend is particular with the screen size. Speed won't be much of an issue since the primary purpose of the tablet is for ebooks only. The question on the Coby Tablet is more on the durability. What are the problems associated with a cheap tablet as the Coby?

1st problem, the charger. Tends to fail based on user feedback from around the world. Second is buttons, tend to be stiff to use. Third, the apps on the touchscreen is not as responsive (as compared to regulate tablets like Apple, Samsung, etc). Fourth, the graphics quality is very obviously poor. Trying to read documents, etc might strain the eyes and the patience of the user since there will be times when you want to pinch/zoom into documents and the tablet would be hard pressed to do it smoothly.

Why not just a second hand Apple iPad 1st gen?... plenty of those around. They should sell for under P10K for one with 32gb.
