I have a TV in my bedroom/sewing room that plays DVDs and videos, as I need to have something to watch while sewing and for general "white noise" to block out the rest of the sounds in the apt. I do have a Kindle Fire that I received as a gift last Mother's Day from my kids to celebrate the fact that I had started walking again after a spinal cord injury in Feb., and I have become a Kindle Junkie since. Personally I think the TV would be more practical, just my opinion.
