The only reason this could be a good deal is that, based on past experience, the tablet might come unlocked. YMMV

TCL has used the same anemic processor on all of these NxtPaper devices and has no desire to change that. There's even a new NxtPaper tablet on Kickstarter right now and it still uses the same ancient CPU.
TCL has never sold replacement nibs for their various stylus models. Last I heard, the official word from TCL is they have no plans on changing that in the future.
Caveat emptor on this one, folks.
I have the 10" NXTPAPER and I send books to my Kindle Colorsoft but in reality hardly use that device anymore. I read magazines on the 10" NXTPAPER and using the Kindle app on the NXTPAPER is almost like using the Kindle itself in terms of reading comfort. In fact I prefer reading many books on it due to the larger size.
There is the temptation to do other things on it though which the Kindle cuts out.
That said my 10" NXTPAPER can emulate run up to most GameCube games and it is pretty nice to play some Wind Waker on the same device as my magazines and books are loaded onto. Not to mention Spotify and YouTube ect. Just a great all around basic use device. I imagine the 8" is similar just smaller so maybe magazines are less fun.
Edit just realized the 8" is less powerful so that might be a reason to wait for the 10" I have. 4gb RAM works for android but the 6gb in the 10" is surely worth it along with the slightly faster CPU in the 10". FWIIW many previous deals have included the 10"so hopefully so will future ones...

It works great for Duolingo, Audible, lichess, etc. I like the matte screen. Not great for gaming, I imagine.
I haven't checked whether it's unlocked. I'll likely just pay the extra $20 for a second month so all three devices are permanently unlocked because I activated before the change in VZW MVNO's unlock policy:

It's supposed to get one Android version update, from what I understand.
