I love my iPad. I would not buy it just for kindle. Understand that it is a computer. I use it instead of my desktop computer. Go on Internet, read my mail,shop, and write this. You can print, download, take pics, and do everything u do on your puter. Manual is online, just print out. Or read on line. U can make font as large as u want. Just want u to know I said why do I need it? I have computer? Now, u can't get it out of my hands. I am responding to u now on train going to visit my new great grandson!
