Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap tablet for notes, books and occasionally movies?

Are you looking to type notes, write notes, or both?

The 9th generation iPad (the last one with a home button) is $199 new right now, and the accessories for that model are both plentiful and being phased out, so those should be available for cheap.

Micro center has been selling the 10th Gen. for like $270 and it’s a nice upgrade over the 9. Plus USB c is cool. It’s been out for a while so accessories shouldn’t cost too much. But last year when I bought mine the only things I liked weren’t cheap.

Also the killed the folio cover which is stupid. I loved easily being able to pop on and off the cover so I don’t get it all nasty.
