My use of such a tablet would mainly be as an e-reader and music player.
I know the Kindle is currently very popular, but I am sure I have either been told or maybe have read somewhere that the Kindle only takes Amazonz own published stuff and PDF's....I know it plays music, but no colour display...this is only a drawback because I would use it with the children(they both like reading, but being young, want to see the story illustrated).
Colour would also be good for showing Ma pictures from my sister in Brisbane.
While I am not fully up to speed with technology, I am not bad and can usually work things out for myself......all my computer skills are self taught...trial and error(mainly error

).
I wasn't thinking of spending a lot of money and have been looking at genereic tablets on Flea Bay.
Think I need to keep investigating...anyway the situation might be taken out of my hands ........I have a birthday coming up in a few weeks...himself might just go out and buy me the Kindle(I'm not holding my breath though).
