Instead, I think we’ll see them continue to be honed and improved for a slightly niche market of frequent book consumers." http://www.patheos.com/blogs/imortal/2014/09/06/the-less-than-doomed-e-reader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rachel D Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I actually bought a tablet before my Kindle. My kindle purchase was for multiple reasons, one of which was the attraction of no distractions. No kids would be bugging me for it, since there are no games or YouTube on it, and I wouldn't worry about draining my battery on a long trip - like the 10-hour flights I had this summer. Because it was cheap, it was attractive to bring along on hikes and other less than optimal places for electronics. I could purchase almost 10 kindles for what my iPad cost me.

G+_Dave M Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Rachel D exact same reasons I have my kindle. I can keep my tablet for about ten minutes before one of my kids robs it to watch Netflix or play a game. Plus I know my kindle battery will last a long time unlike my tablet or phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
