Title: Kindle or another Tablet? Post by: Marky147 on December 24, 2015, 08:49:44 AM I've been badgering my old man about presents for ages, and this morning he asked about something for books.
I said he could have my iPad, and I'd get him a present, but then remembered seeing something about Kindles on here. Are Kindles still the best things for reading books when on holiday, or is there some new spangly bit of kit on the market? Title: Re: Kindle or another Tablet?

I haven't used any of the e-book readers but if the other functionality isn't needed then definitely an ebook reader rather than a tablet.

Thanks chaps. I'll whack my iPad on ebay, and get myself a new one for Xmas :) Title: Re: Kindle or another Tablet? Post by: rfgqqabc on December 24, 2015, 04:47:55 PM I surf the web and watch youtube on my kindle too. Its great for reading too

He just wants it to read by the pool this summer, so the Kindle is a deffo winner. |
