Hi,
My wife has been wanting a tablet to search the web, read books, and of course Facebook and Pinterest all while setting in her easy chair in front of the TV. We have decided to get a router and go Wi-Fi in our house. The TV we have is a smart TV so it can hook up to the router also.
This is all very new to us and a trip to Best Buy is coming up in a day or two. I know that this is an iPad forum but since she has never had a tablet before we have narrowed the choice down to the iPad Air or the Kindle HDX. We are both leaning towards the iPad but she needs to see them in person, hold them and just see how they work basically.
After a few days of reading about both of them I have a couple of questions that I hope you all can answer.
As I mentioned, she wants one mostly for reading, web searching and such so is 16GB enough? I read after all the apps and such you only have 11GB left, she may download a movie here and there but she would probably delete them after watching them, same with music, she may keep a few albums on the tablet but I don't see her storing anything for a long time, but I've been wrong before, so how much will 11GB hold?
With the Kindle, a selection of books doesn't seem to be a problem, where do you get your books on the iPad?
When she is looking at something on the tablet, will it or can it be seen on the TV in front of her?
Sorry for all the questions but we are just trying to figure all this out, if we go with the iPad Air I will introduce myself and join the forum, it seems to be a great place to learn something, and ask some more questions as I am sure I will have a lot.
