I'm using a 10.1" Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 edition.  I originally tried
a 7.7" Toshiba Excite and found that particularly for square dance
calling it wasn't big enough -- I think something smaller probably would
work for just contra.  It's spendier than I would have preferred, but I
had a couple of constraints that made it impossible to get anything else
a year ago, maybe things have changed since then:

* The proprietary charging cable required by the Toshiba reminded me of
how awful it is to use anything other than micro-USB, I like being able
to store charging cables *everywhere*

* I wanted a microSD slot for storage

The Galaxy Note also has a longer-than-average battery life, something
you should definitely consider.
