Since I have to do my cutting in a room without a computer, I find my Kindle Fire to be very useful. I can follow the cutting instructions for quilt blocks without having to walk back to my computer for the next step. And I can take it traveling with me. Any place that has wifi (airport, coffee shops) gives me access. Even my dentist has free wifi. While visiting in DC my sister, niece and I each had our Kindles out for her grandkids to play games.
