A good Tablet for watching unconverted anime (.mkv,.avi, 720/1080)?

It's kind of a pain to transfer stuff too and from, though. Pretty much have one transferring while watching another, and delete what I've already watched. For some reason none of the players I've tried successfully steam stuff or require manually typing the full share path for every file.
Currently all the movie players I know of for android are kind of lacking.

might want to look into installing cyanogen mod on it... it really makes it a lot easier to do these things, plus if you install a custom kernel (with cifs enabled) or install a custom kernel module (a cifs module) you can connect your kindle to your at home samba server/ windows share folder and stream directly from it over your wifi without the hassle of transfering over and deleting when you're done.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 has pretty much all the information you would need and then some.
and from what ive noticed mxplayer is the best android player for anime.. dunno if it supports hi10p though.
Bob2004:
MX Player doesn't support 10-bit AFAIK (I don't think there are any mobile players that do), but - as of the latest update - it does now have full typesetting support, which is brilliant, since you can now play pretty much any video without having to convert it first (except for 10-bit, and those with ordered chapters, of course), and it'll play perfectly, if you have the processing power. I don't know of any other players for Android/iOS/Kindle/etc which can do that (though I'm sure there must be a few by now).

Been waiting to test out the new update from MX player as well. It used to throw fits with almost any video with ASS subs.

I've only tried it with Saki, which has some fairly advanced (static) typesetting, and no karaoke, but it worked really well. Drains the battery even quicker than it did before though, and I had to wait a bit for it to rebuild the font cache when I started the video (presumably so it could use the custom fonts).
vuzedome:
Only my Galaxy Tab, it looks great, but 720p still stutters.
SD with a little high bitrates play fine but 720p needs really low bitrates, around 2500kbps average will do but sudden spikes will cause stutter.
Having a media server to transcode and stream still is the better option right now.
