    Hi,
    I'm looking for a android tablet for reading long hours.
    Screen:
    I would like a great display with saturated blacks. It would be nice if it could be used outdoors on a sunny day but it is not mandatory.
    I generally dim the display more than I can with the normal settings with the " lower brightness screen filter" app and use "moon+ reader" for epub and pdf where I invert the colors so I read against a black background.
    So I if the tablet uses pwm I would not like flickers when dimming the brightness.
    Size:
    I would like to be able to read a full page on a pdf. So I think around 10" would be good.

    weight:
    perfaribly a light tablet.

    Making notes:
    It would be grate if there were a possibility of making notes while reading, perhaps with a stylus and partial screen toggle with a note taking app. I do not know if this is possible or if someone could suggest a good note taking system while reading on the same tablet. The thing is I normally lie in bed while reading for long hours so perhaps a keyboard would not work. But as with all my requirements they are not set in stone but I'm open for suggestions of all sorts.

    good sound in the 3,5mm jack and wifi would also be nice

    Thanks for your time.
    /Johannes

    What's your budget? The Galaxy Tab S4 is good at so that, from amazing screen to digitizer stylus, but it's not cheap.
