Quoted: I ended up with a Kindle Fire HD6. I'm not really seeing the big deal about these tablets. Besides reading, what can I use it for to make my life better or easier instead of just a toy for wasting time? If its like an iPad, it is just a toy. It is good at finding information, so it can be helpful, but you can't do any serious productive work on it, so, to me, it is mostly a toy. |

I have no idea why people buy dedicated reading devices when a regular Android tablet or large smart phone can do the same thing and much more. I do all my reading on my Nexus tablet and my LG G4 phone. |

Get a bluetooth OBDII dongle and a diagnostics app.
Someone will be along to tell you which one is worth a damn. |

For a person that reads a lot they're fantastic. |

My wife is on her third Kindle fire. Uses it to read free books off of Amazon Prime, surf the web, watch Netflix. We also will download a couple of movies to it when we go camping, which is kind of neat. I personally don;t really use it other than the camping thing.

For a person that reads a lot they're fantastic. I read a lot. Usually a book a week or so. I have no problem with the screen on my Nexus nor the one on my G4. The Aldiko reading app I use lets you adjust fonts and brightness and colors. It is very easy to read in all light conditions. I think the whole e-ink thing is a big marketing hype. These specialized E-readers that use cloud storage also help Amazon control copy's of the book. If you use a ebook app instead and get your books in epub format its a simple file that can be read by anyone that opens it. |

Unless it's a Surface Pro, all tablets are toys.
keep in mind that content is king, so even though android sucks, a Kindle HDX > iPad, because Amazon Prime. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I know people who own multiple tablets for their families but I've never found much use for one myself.
I could see use for them on an airplane but with the down turn in my industry right now I don't do much traveling. |

I don't think I've turned on my laptop since I got an iPad. Of course, I also only do a couple of hours per month "productive work" on a computer, and the desktop here at the store is fine for that.
For couch/toilet/favorite fap location web surfing it's unbeatable. It's also a lot more convenient to text message than a phone. Probably going to by the new iPad FapPro with the big screen next year. |

I like my tablet for the larger screen size versus my Samsung S4 and it's smaller than my laptop. I pretty much keep it in my car the whole day and bring in to charge at night.
I mostly use it for email and surfing. |

I just use mine as a podcast player by my bed. Got one pretty marked down or I would have gone for a real Android or Apple tablet.

Cheap tablets are great when working on cars. .pdf copies of shop manuals are cheaper than paper versions and are keyword searchable so it's easier to find the section you need. Can also use it to watch online how-to videos while working. A tablet holder from RAM mount along with a magnetic base makes it easy to put the tablet where it's easy to see while working.
