Of those using, or considering using, a tablet computer for dance directions

I have a crappy 7" one that I haven't truly used for this and would think
I'd like something a tad larger (8, 8.4, 8.0/9, likely not a 10") that I
might see most/all of the directions at a type size I don't need reading
glasses for.
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.
