Title: Kindles Post by: horlock07 on Monday, April 27, 2015, 16:32:21 The wife wants one of these for her birthday... which was Saturday just past!
Quick question as I am a bit of a Luddite these days, I note I can get various storage sizes in terms of 8gb, 16gb etc. I assume that this is only if she wants to download and watch things - which I am not sure what she will want to watch but she seems to watch most stuff on Netflix so I suspect storage wont be a big issue? So I suspect that a 16gb Fire HDX would do? Title: Re: Kindles Post by: Bewster on Monday, April 27, 2015, 16:38:00 Why not get a normal tablet with a Kindle app ?
I got my kids an Asus 7inch Tab with £50 cash back for £100 from pc world. Title: Re: Kindles Post by: horlock07 on Monday, April 27, 2015, 16:44:21 I knew this would lead to more questions... :(
Because she has requested a Kindle, I don't know much about such things (if it was a debate re Shimano v. Campag I would be in my area of expertise) and as its now 3 days after the event I am short of time to research!

Title: Re: Kindles Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, April 27, 2015, 17:11:43 Find out what Kindle she wants. If she wants one for reading she won't have apps and sizes, you don't even need to think about that, it's just for books and a Kindle App on a tablet doesn't compare.
If she's specifically asked for a Kindle, she's likely not after an HD, HDX or whatever other Kindle tablet is available, she'll be after an e-reader. The Kindle Voyage is the newest and best, then there's the Paperwhite just below it. If she likes reading that's what she's after. They have no size and fuck the spec, it does one thing and it does it perfectly.
