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

I am a big android guy but when it comes to tablets I would go with an ipad.

You can find the regular iPad for $249 pretty often now. That is the way to go.

Agreed. Electronics are not the same as physical books as far as study goes.

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.
