Recently, I bought my first large tablet, a 9.7" E-Ceros Revolution Android tablet, which weights 1.3 lbs (about 600 grams). Its roughly similar in size and weight to an iPad (not iPad Air).
I tried using it for a few minutes. Right away, I found the size and weight cumbersome to use compared to my 7 and 8 inch tablets. I got hand and wrist strain trying to hold the tablet in one hand while tapping the screen with the other. When lying down in bed, I felt like I had to put extra focus on making sure the tablet doesn't fall out of my hands and hit my face. This means making sure both hands are holding on to the tablet, which also makes it hard to tap on the screen to do anything.
So, due to its size and weight, I don't get how I'm supposed to use this kind of tablet. What do people do with these larger and heavier tablets? What are their usage scenarios? How exactly do people handle and use them? How do they hold and carry them? How do they interact with them if they're too heavy to hold for long periods? Maybe these tablets are primarily used for viewing instead of interacting?
