What's the best tablet under $200?

I'd prefer to buy from an established US company that is well known. It's a lot of money to me, and while the site Korn sent me to seemed okay, I just know nothing about them, or their products. Thanks, guys!

I'm concerned with the comment Blayde made about the quality of the tablet (Nexus 7), if dropped. 90% of the time, it will be used on carpeting, and not leave the house, but it's that 10% that I am worried about. Does anyone else know about the quality/durability issue?

Thanks!

The $100 Kindle HD (refurbished) is from a well known national site. It includes a one year warranty, so I feel comfortable buying it.

I played with a Nexus yesterday, and did like it, but was wondering if anybody else had heard of issues with the quality.

Is it better to get a new item, or invest about the same amount in an iPad 1 or 2? Or another used tablet? So many seem to have similar features, so it boils down to quality, perhaps? Not really looking at the camera aspects, because my phone and digital camera are usually close by. Someone suggested www.Cowboom.com as a source for used computers/tablets, as it is a division of Best Buy, I understand? So would you go new or pre-owned or refurbished?
