Linux tablet?

What's the best tablet to install Linux on? I am looking for something affordable (under $200) and light just to use a PDF reader with MEGA sync.

Hijacking your question, is it possible to install Linux on Samsung tablets?
- yes you can. but not for recent released tablets. you can find more on devices page of pmos wiki
- You can't replace Android because those devices are locked down and have no open source driver available, but you can install various Linux distribution on top of Android. Check out UserLAnd or Termux.
  
  You can replace Android with PostmarketOS on some Samsung Galaxy tablets
  
  Those are very old models, btw. For the better or worse... At least they should be cheap and practically everything will do for a PDF reader. I'd just check if the display is still acceptable by today's standards before buying something. I know some of the low-end tablets come with sub-par displays to cut down on costs.
