I have an I-Pad, I-phone, and a MacBook, oh and a kindle(old one). I bought my husband a kindle fire, and he loves it, never opens his home lap top any more. I really like the kindle for reading better than my I-pad because it’s smaller and lighter and I don’t need the camera.
However, my son uses the Kindle for business. They have their contracts right on the kindle and use the cameras to photograph documents, they can print them out or save them. I’ve used the camera on my phone instead of a fax for sending documents. It’s a whole different mind set.
I have the kindle app on my phone too, so when I’m waiting in an airport or doctor’s office, I just pull out my phone and read.
Our family has migrated to Apple products (in addition to iPods, which we have used for many years) over the past 2 years or so. I was a solid PC person since my first Tandy PC in the late 80s or so. As my twins got ready for college we went to get laptops and were sold on MacBooks. I brought them home, set them up in less than 20 minutes, including home network access and printing. Seamless, easy and with no real need for any documentation. I later got a MacBook Pro myself. When the iPad came out, I got one for my wife and she remains extremely happy with it. She has kindle and I think nook apps on it, uses it almost exclusively for email (I can’t get LiveMail to print on the network from her Windows 7 PC for some reason) but can print from her iPad with no problem with a $10 Windows app (the Apple one is $20). My PC crashed last week, and I have attached the PC monitor to my MacBook Pro, along with external drives and bluetooth keyboard and trackpad and everyone works without a hitch. (And I saved the $1500 I almost spent on an iMac.) I have the iPad 2 which I take to meetings for notes, email, internet, etc. When my Blackberry died a while ago I switched to iPhone and have not looked back.
I didn’t WANT to move away from PC, but Apple’s stuff just works! (I do miss the tinkering, but not much.)
