Hi!
I'm wanting to move my daughter on from having an ereader to a tablet. We travel a lot with very limited luggage allowance, and so we can't carry books or multiple gadgets. Due to travel she is also homeschooled, so I would now like a tablet that allows for different apps as well as books, although they remain the highest priority. I would like an iPad (as I have one and am used to the apps and setup), but can't afford this.
I saw Kindle Fire is now £89.99 for Prime members and thought about this - but wanted to ask first if it integrates well with Calibre, as I use this to store all my books. I particularly have pdfs from educational publishers and mobis from various sources (Project Gutenberg, Humble Bundle, Amazon etc.)
If someone can let me know about the Fire that would be great, or if you have another suggestion I'd appreciate that too. I'll list some of the other issues important to me below in case these matter:
- Reads mobi & pdfs from a variety of sources (not just Amazon) with good clarity and colours and usability - integrates with Calibre
- plays music with integrated speakers and preferably headphone option (my music is stored in itunes, but only some of it is purchased AACs, most are purchased MP3s without DRM)
- access to wide variety of apps, including educational ones and a basic word processor (my only experience is with apple store, which I find a lot on)
- following not vital but nice - decent storage, or expandable; camera; video editing; ability to limit internet access, connection to wireless printer
Thanks so much for any advice
