Wife and I did a bit of a road trip today, I drove and she took her
kindle fire. She read the thing the whole way and back.

I really liked it because now she doesn't tell me how to drive....

It's already paid for itself!!!!

wife got me a pandigital tablet...wifi, kindle, android OS...works
great. paid about $200. nice color screen...beautiful and very useful
