Eh just thot a Kindle or Tablet would be good way to load up free books and a big space-saver when I travel. I usually take a laptop too, but it has large screen and battery life is more limited
-I don’t want to pay additional for 4G internet access on a Tablet, but would not mind wi-fi capabilities.
Really want Droid 4 phone...Bigger screen and nice keyboard, waiting for a deal :)
One thing I don’t know about (hopefully someone else can chime in) is accessing free book websites on the Kindle. (other than the Fire). With all the free book sites out there or being able to upload .pdf files, I wouldn’t wan to invest in something that can’t access those. Seriously, if all you can access is Amazon from the basic Kindle, it may be worth the investment for a tablet that has internet access. (iPad, Droid, Fire).
Oh, and regarding 4G. Be careful. It will spoil you. I have regular DSL at home and my tablet and phone both have 4G hotspots and it seems to be 10x faster (using Verizon). I am almost to the point where my DSL just runs my alarm and the Google TV my wife uses in her studio and I use my hotspots for everything else.
