Tablet recommendation for wife

[kilbypirate]

I am looking to buy my wife a tablet in the next couple of weeks. Here are my answers to the questions in the forum:

1. Is This Your First Time Buying A Tablet? No

2. Do you already have an operating system in mind? Yes, Android

3. What screen size do you have in mind? 7-8" range

4. Preferred Brand(s) - Asus, Samsung. Would consider others of good quality.

5. Brands Not Preferred- anything poor quality

6. How much do you want to spend on your tablet? <200

7. Do you have cellular service? Or do you want the tablet to be WiFi only? Wifi only

9. Do you want the tablet to be a full laptop replacement? No

10. What existing apps do you use? What do you intend to do with this tablet? Check e-mail & web surfing use only

As stated above, her needs are fairly simple- something to check email and web surf when we travel and things like that. She already has an Android phone so I'm thinking that would be the easiest for her to use. I want to purchase something of good quality but not looking to spend a lot since her needs are fairly simple. I am definitely open to buying refurbished, as I buy a lot of my electronics refurb or used.

Thanks for any input!

The Nexus 7 is an inexpensive but good tablet from Google, by ASUS. It has one of the sharpest screens available, so your wife enjoys reading text so clear.

Is this good?

Actually, I stand corrected. She told me the ones she liked while looking at them in-person were more around an 8" size.
