JinYong Jeong Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ipad is a tablet, and kindle is e-reader.Basically those are whole lot different.People use Kindle for reading a book, or magazine. Also their battery last longer.Ipad is for more entertainment. You can read, take a picture, call, play game, and lots different things. They have colored displayedSo I would like to choose Ipad instead of Nook or Kindle.But if you are going to only read, buy Kindle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 That is unless he gets a kindle fire, or google nexus type of tablet. They are for apps and games too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleFloyd Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I bought iPads for both of my kids. They looked at what was out there and decided on them over the others. To me they are a durable, solid device that work like they should and have no problems. I like the bigger screen and if my cabinet design software would run on it, I would dump my laptop for one in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 My kids just bought themselves kindle fire HDs with the 7" screens. I am very impressed with what you get for the money. The display is amazing and they have all the apps you can possibly need. One of my boys was convinced he wanted a nook. After test driving both he decided the fire was the better choice. Of course if they could of they would have bought iPads which IMO are just a little better than everything else but the cost is not as justifiable.

aanderud Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 IMHO, the 7 inch screen is the ideal size. It's small enough to be extremely portable yet large enough to be extremely useful. I think the 9 to 10 inch screens are big enough to dissuade me from bringing it along to <name_a_place> enough that I'd get just 'that' much less use out of it.

Whoaru99 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I picked up the Galaxy Tab 8.9 when it was available. I thought it was the perfect size but apparently not many others did, instead favoring 7 or 10, until now probably the Kindle HD 8.9 looks like it might be a good deal.What I really liked about the 8.9 size is was that it fit my hands just right so I could do lots of thumb typing easily while holding the edges of the tablet, yet still had decent screen size.

RumRiverRat Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I bought my wife a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" for Christmas. It is an amazing device. With wireless internet it is a powerful device.With an Amazon Prime membership you have access to lots of books and streaming movies, many in HD.I am typing this post on it right now.I have the USA Today,Washington Post and New York Times apps. Great for keeping up with the news.I like it so much I am going to buy one for myself.Being able to check out ebooks from the library is great.

Jeremy airjer W Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I like the e books. I have read more in the last year than I ever did up to that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 the app selection for the nook is pretty pathetic. doesn't even have a facebook app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ^^^Don't know about an app, but either way it doesn't seem to stop my GF from using Facebook (quite a lot, actually) on her Nook Color. Don't know how/what she uses to do it besides the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 you can get to facebook through the browser. but, an app would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebiz Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bought the wife a Samsuny Galaxy 7" back in May, she loves it. Android platform that can still do everything a Kindle but you're not married to Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 you can get to facebook through the browser. but, an app would be nice. You can always root it and put on an open version of Android, like one from CyanogenMod. Speaking of, maybe I'll have to experiment on the GF's Color.
