El cheapo tablet mostly for PDF reading

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

Took the questions I thought were most relevant from the mobile questionnaire.

1. Budget?
Sub-5k would be great.

2. Display type and size?
Something legible.

10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)?
Primary use: reading A4-sized PDFs, one page at a time, in landscape. Mostly reference books, not novels. Also for light video usage.

11. Any specific tablets in consideration?
Nope.

You could try for DOMO slate series of Tablets,Karbonn Smart series...which have prices less than Rs.5k

BSNL Penta IS709C/701C are not bad either for PDF reading.

These Tabs are also good for PDF reading ,though not up to the mark of Kindle Tablets.

Have a look at Amazon India.

This one.

Also, about the Penta... I read some reviews on infibeam claiming that these devices literally crawl, even when just browsing the web. Any info on battery life or reliability?
