Two choices IMO: Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD/HDX -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:31 1

What are you going to do with it? Is it primarily a reader with some tablet functionality or a tablet with some reader? -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 10:31 13
- My first gen Nexus 7 works fine, and can be had for really cheap. - Guigue Nov 25, 10:35 2
  - it's for a gift (charlie needed to know). I told him nexus 7. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:36 1
    - Wise -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 10:39
- tablet with some reader. web/email. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:32 9
  - I'd go with Nexus 7 then. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:34 8
    - I really think the whole 'restricts' thing is overblown. I've never had problems finding an app to fit a need with the Kindle - decline Nov 25, 10:36 5
      - It seems like un unnecessarily hassle considering the other options -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 10:40
      - ^^ this. Maybe not for the truly non-technical but mandy would have no problem -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:38
      - I no longer have a Fire but I know that I did have problems finding certain apps and ML has said the same thing *shrug* -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 10:38 2
        
        I found a site apkdad or something like it that has everything -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:38 1
        
        I'm also not a big fan of loading apps that I find on random websites. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:40
    - oh cool. thanks. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:34 1
      - The Kindle/Nook are cheaper which is why I'd suggest those over a Nexus as a reader, FWIW. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:39
Wait, I've seen this Verizon commercial. - nubby Nov 25, 10:31
