Looking for stable wifi connections, LDS Tools, LDS Library and gmail support, and note-taking app that can be accessed and edited across platforms from Android phone to Chromebook among other useful tools including Google Drive.

I currently use a Fire 8. Kind of clunky, and Wi-Fi is unstable. Had to hack it to put Google play

I'm Not bragging even a little bit. I am just amazed at how much more

Huh? This is a weird take.

So this is how it’s going to go down. Can’t say LDS vs. eLDS, but something similar.
