I have a 13" TV in my sewing room and it comes in handy. I got a kindle for Christmas from my hubby and ended up returning it. It was to small and just didn't give me the same satisfaction as a "real" book. The TV is great for when I am doing a lot of pinning, like when I make the "princess Pillowcase dresses" or even pin basting quilt componets etc. I am of the generation that still worships the TV. We got our first one when I was 12 years old.

I have a 40" flat screen in my sewing room and I use it very often when I am in there. When I'm not watching the TV, I'm listening to CBC radio via the internet. My home computer with a 24" screen is also in my sewing room, but I don't use it for watching movies or tv, I use the TV for that. Also have a Kindle and concurr with other posters that the screen is too small. I recommend going with the TV.

I have a kindle fire and I love it. It has internet access if you want to google something. It's also great for reading books and listening to music. I keep it in my purse and have used it in my kitchen to access recipes and make a grocery list.
I would use it to watch a program if I was somewhere like a plane, train or bus, but I'm a big screen person. I have a 40" tv for programs. A 15" tv would not cut it for me, either. If I'm going to watch a program I prefer a bigger screen if at all possible.

TV in sewing room. IPad for propping next to cutting table or sewing machine or ironing board for those You Tube videos.
Go with the Fire. You can pick up a flat screen smaller TV very reasonably now

I would go with the Kindle because you can use it everywhere and besides if you pick the TV then you have to watch TV and not quilt O-O...to much distraction for me unless you only use the music channels while you sew....then you go back and get that on the kindle and plus much more.....I love kindle

I have a Nook Color that I've had for a couple of years and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I have it connected to my wireless network so can do mostly whatever I want on it! My suggestion would be to really evaluate the use of the device and go from there! Congrats on your 20 years
