samsung makes a great tablet and the Kindle is very nice for the price. *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/11/2013 04:14:02 PM

View original postAlright, this is the sort of thing that the site of old used to be very good for. I'm in a bit of an existential crisis. I had iPad 2 for 2 years; it was a present. It broke, I got a free replacement, but my data was lost. So in a fit of ire, I gave it away to a friend and vowed not to buy any more Apple products.


View original postNow I need a replacement. I use a tablet primarily for Internet browsing, and also for taking notes. It's great if I can read books on it too. I decided to go with a smaller size tablet because the iPad was too heavy to carry every day.


View original postAfter some research, I bought Nexus 7. I don't know if I like it. The screen is very small, but I guess that's to be expected. I feel like it's too bright and causes more eye strain. After using it for 6 hours last night, my eyes are tired this morning. The Kindle app is very awkward, very difficult to highlight a word (poor touch sensitivity). Battery life is significantly worse than iPad, even though it's smaller. Yet everything I read told me that it's the best tablet.


View original postWhat should I do? I've had Nexus for 2 days. I always hate new things. I think I can try to return it, but then what? What tablets have you used and loved/hated?


View original postThis morning I was thinking, I wish there was a tablet with an e-ink screen. Not bright, gentle on the eyes, large font, well-proportioned, responsive screen. Another alternative is to get something very cheap, and then I can't complain - at least it's cheap.


View original postDo I have a size problem? Maybe I need a bigger size? I do wish there were more tablets the size of the mini iPad - bigger than 7 inches, smaller than 10.

the new Kindle HDX is as much as the Nexus. - 14/11/2013 05:24:23 PM 673 Views

As I understand it, the Kindle Fire is a normal tablet - no Kindle-like eyestrain-less screen - 14/11/2013 09:22:15 PM 586 Views

A quick correction: 8 inch is a very popular tablet size these days. - 15/11/2013 06:28:11 AM 839 Views
I think that's what I need. *NM* - 15/11/2013 06:44:26 PM 331 Views
The Nexus 7 is definitely the best bang for the buck. Maybe try to fix the problems you're having? - 15/11/2013 06:40:01 AM 945 Views

I've had it on standby with minimal use for 1 days, and the battery is 1/2 gone. - 15/11/2013 06:36:51 PM 669 Views
