I have the Kindle Fire and it has become my favorite quilting tool. I load all my scanned pdf quit patterns, digital magazines, books and quilting apps. I can whip the Kindle Fire out of my purse and have access to all my patterns instructions. I can watch all the quilt videos websites on it. There is a free app on Amazon that will send pdf or doc files from your computer to the Kindle Fire. I have several of the $79 Kindles. I use those to load books and swap Kindles (instead of books) with family and friends. That is the best one for just book reading. No audio on the $79 one.
