I have an Asus tablet - has an android operating system. It does just about everything that a laptop does. I use it for reading some, but find the black & white Kindle easier on the eyes. I haven't stumbled over much in the way of quilting apps, and I prefer reference books in hard copy, so am not too tempted by on line versions. I'm not exactly sure what a quilting app would actually do for me. I've downloaded a few on my phone, but have not really found a use for them yet.
