We spent the weekend messing around with a friends IPad2, that was a lot of fun and started the &#8220;I want a reader&#8221; wheels spinning.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home my husband and I started talking about the various options with the readers and of course the cost for each. Cost and what we would be using the product for were the major points of discussion. My husband would need something with video capability and a larger screen for his job while I only need to read and play games. Most of my computer time is spent with programs that wouldn&#8217;t work on a tablet.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of positive reviews with the IPad2, the app availability and syncing of our ITunes library is a key feature. I also did a lot of reading on the Kindle Fire. One hilariously funny article was from The Android Police &#8220;<a title=\"Amazon's Kindle Fire just made every Android tablet manufacturer look bad by the Android Police\" href=\"http:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/2011\/09\/28\/editorial-amazons-kindle-fire-has-just-made-every-other-android-tablet-manufacturer-look-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon&#8217;s Kindle Fire just made every Android tablet manufacturer look bad<\/a>&#8221; is worth the read, not only for a few chuckles but has a lot of pertinent information.

Well then it is the accessories and how you can personalize your tablet to make it more your own. Things we considered when looking at sleeves was how protective they are, how stylish looking and the add on features of the sleeve.<br \/>\n(Incidentally, we went into our first Apple store on October 5th to purchase our IPad only to turn it on and learn <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2011\/10\/06\/us\/obit-steve-jobs\/index.html?hpt=hp_t1\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve Jobs had passed away<\/a>.)<br \/>\nNow, of course, I need to determine what sleeve or cover to use with this, I want something protective yet stylish with a bit of unique tossed in.<br \/>\n[table id=4 \/]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[table id=5 \/]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What do you think, what reader do you have and what are your reasons for getting one?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Where do you shop for covers and accessories for your Kindle or Ipad2?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>I know I can&#8217;t wait for the release of the Kindle Fire to see how it compares to the IPad2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kindle Fire: My first E Reader Stop the presses, I mean literally, I have finally moved away from print copy into the realm of E-reader\/tablet.
