I would never recommend to buy a tablet as I think it's a strict downgrade from a Laptop and less flexible than a Smartphone. But if you buy one, those are the things you might want to have a look at:

Use Cases
- Watch TV: You want a big screen. Brightness might be relevant as well. The speakers likely don't matter so much as you will likely use headphones anyway.
- Read comics: You want a big screen.
- Read books: Smaller is nicer. I guess about 7 inches. See ebook readers - if you only want to read books, that is best.
