I have a Kindle Fire HD, a Nook and a Samsung Tablet. I pretty much exclusively use the Tablet. I read quite a bit and find it very easy to get books. I have signed up for a couple of mailing notices that come daily and list free or special priced books that you can download from Amazon. I love the convenience of downloading a book when I want to as long as I can connect to the internet. Our library has ebooks, but I have never checked one out thru them. I swore when e=readers first became available that I would never want one--now I would never be without one! My tablet goes pretty much everywhere I go--I can easily access the internet, read email and facebook, shop, whatever I want. I have even started leaving my laptop at home when I travel and just take my Tablet. My 5 year old granddaughter has an iPad and I can honestly say I'm not impressed with it. She is on her second one and can use it better than I do!
