This tablet will work for me beautifully.
I was looking for an upgrade for my Nexus 7, and this will do,
I would have preferred a 16:10 screen, it is better for books, comics and a good compromise for videos, IMHO, but 4:3 will do.
I am also into books and graphical novels and I think the Jolla will do better than some tipical competition.

Nexus 7: 1920 x 1080 (323 ppi)
Nexus 7 II 1920 x 1200 (326 ppi) also 4:3?
Kindle Fire HDX 7: 1920x1200 (323 ppi)

Jolla Tablet: 2048 x 1536 (330 ppi)


At virtually the same pixel density the Jolla tablet extends your usual screen estate without taking much of your readability. (hope it gets the colours right like Amazon's)

In every 4:3 display panel there is a cost saving 16:9 / 16:10 panel.

Screen estate comes at a cost of kinggo's "I feel like I am holding it wrong" comment above.

Hope this Jolla tablet will inspire the completion of more native applications or we may have to suffer a useless, fossil, black Android back button bar eating our screen estate.
