Linux tablet?

What's the best tablet to install Linux on? I am looking for something affordable (under $200) and light just to use a PDF reader with MEGA sync.

It's still very much a beta in a lot of ways, but PineTab could maybe handle PDFs

The pine note might be a better pick if colors not important in the pdfs

I agree, but I was trying to fit their budget.

PineTab 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC is $159 and PineNote is $399

Out of stock and Linux support is quite experimental.

PS: they both can handle PDFs, tried on mines.

Just putting this in to warn people, pinetab 2 has no functional WiFi drivers so you need a dongle

I own all the pinephones and as much as I'll go to bat and speak well if them... The tab support is super early. Lots of stuff doesnt work (wifi for one). That's not to say that won't change with time as the pinephone pro did
