Which tablet to get?

I recently bought a Nvidia Shield K1 tablet and I love it. Follow the link to check it out and it’s only $200.

I need a new tablet and I’m looking for something with a big enough screen (at least 8, preferably 10 inch) so I can easily read digital comics. I use Comicrack for my digital comic reading, which apparently doesn’t work on Amazon Fire tablets, so those are out. Ability to play simple games (like Star Realms) is nice, too. Beyond that I don’t need much of anything…no kids stuff, no mobile connection, not planning to watch movies on it. What would the hivemind recommend?

I’ve had the Asus Zenpad for a year and a half now and it’s been working great. Bought a screen protector, fortunately, which saved me some nasty scratches/cracks from the inevitable drops. Works great for the comic reading and basic games.

Now I have a different need…the refugee center where I volunteer needs a tablet that will be used as a control for Google’s Family Link. Or a phone, I suppose, but tablet would be easier to use. We have a bunch of Chromebooks, but they can only be “child” accounts. For whatever reason, Google requires that you use a mobile device as the “parent” account.

So I either need a basic tablet for the center (Android 4.4 or higher) or a new one for myself (and donate my old one to the center). My question to the hivemind: are there exceptional deals I should be looking at for either option? Either something cheap but reliable for the center, or a tablet that would be an upgrade on the Asus at a reasonable price for myself.
