My DH gave me a Kindle Fire last Christmas and I love it! I do most of my browsing on it and save quilt instructions on it so I don't have to print them out. I can open anything in my sewing room and work on it. Also, have such a great selection of books to choose from. I can access two library systems and check out books to read on the KF. Anything you download can be accessed at anytime, whether you have wi-fi access or not. You do have to have wi-fi access to use the Internet. I can't imagine not having it now.
