Re: [MacBook] Re: IPad vs. Kindle etc.

  I have both the Kindle Fire and an Ipad. I love them both for different reasons. The Kindle is so great to read in the dark in bed at night, it is lighter and smaller. The Ipad is just as much fun but for different reasons....

Re: [MacBook] Re: IPad vs. Kindle etc.

And let me add that the Kindle app for the iPhone, iPad will give you everything that the Kindle says it does but did not say the iPhones… could do. Plus the extra 100 ppi resolution will make reading a dream on the iPad. Notice with the Kendal you only get the 7.5 hrs battery when you turn off the WiFi but 10 on the iPad with WiFi turned on. Yes,...

Re: [MacBook] Re: IPad vs. Kindle etc.

Hi Carol, Is there a nearby store you can go to that will let you hold and try out both? There are negatives & positives to both. Honestly too many to list, in regards to ebooks and compatibility issues. If you already own a Mac, I'd lean towards to iPad. It may cost a lot more, but I am willing to bet the operating system is a lot more friendly. (Android...

Re: [MacBook] Re: IPad vs. Kindle etc.

Comes out well? I see nothing appealing about the Kendal Fire.

[MacBook] Re: 2006 Macbook Linux question

  Thank you all for your suggestions. I'd appreciate ideas on my second question: If I get something that can connect to the net, I'd like to be able to use it at home too. I have used Macs since the 80s but always with a modem...

Re: [MacBook] watching movies

  My movies are 1080p at least the non Netfix movies are. I have no idea what the Netflix streaming movies are. My tiny MacBook air sits on my bed so it's air circulation is probably not as good as it would be if I sat it on a book,...

Re: [MacBook] IPad vs. Kindle etc.?

Hi Carol, May as well throw in my 2 cents. For straight reading, an ebook reader is the best bet. I have a MacBook Pro and never use it for reading. My wife has an Asus tablet which I used on vacation for reading, but had to charge it after 2 days, or maybe it was one? It did come in handy for checking my email occasionally. This is why I ended up...

Re: [MacBook] weird video problem on MacBook Pro
