Tablet Recommendations

We bought an ipad about 4 years ago for use on our boat. It went out last month and cannot be fixed. I never really liked it as well as my kindle that I've had for 8 years. It's been great although I hate the smaller keyboards for typing emails. I think the quality of all of these devices are basically dependent upon getting used to using them. We are not buying another ipad but if my kindle went out I would like another one or either a nook for downloading books and reading them and playing words with friends.

I have had an IPad 2 and now use an Pad Air 2. I love them both. DH now uses the older one, since he only reads email, Facebook, and plays games. The best thing about Apple products is never getting viruses, and since I have bought them reconditioned on Amazon, I have paid less than $200 each. I do not care that the cases are scratched and dinged since I keep them in the foam type ( like Crocs are made from) cases that are made for kids, and are (Kelly proof too) which I also got on Amazon for about $20. I have sight problems so I prefer the larger tablets. I can even make my font larger as I need to.
*if you chose to go this route, be sure to select a seller that is approved by Amazon. (Five stars on any refurbished seller makes me worry, but then I am paranoid....)

I bought my self a Valuepad (cost was $100), I know you may not have heard about it but it has worked great for the last 5 years, it may be time for me to upgrade this year. I gave my Color nook to my husband and have upgraded that to a Kindle fire which he loves. I hated the ipad but that was just me.
