Ok, Techies of the World, help a tech-clueless girl out. Last fall I won an iPad for filling out a survey at a users' meeting I attended at ASMS in June. I wasn't convinced right away, but now I really like having it, and I'm sure I'll love it all the more when this God-awful dissertation is done and I can stop traveling with my 238956 lb laptop, external hard drive, stacks of papers and spectra, and lab notebook.
This afternoon I won a Kindle Fire just by chatting up some instrument reps at a meeting to get my name in the drawing. Now what though? Is there any reason to have the Kindle if I already have (and like) the iPad? I can buy books and such to read on my iPad, though I'm under the impression that through the Kindle I could "borrow books" from my local library? Frankly though, I like book books. While I appreciate that digital reading means less to carry with me when I travel, I haven't used my iPad to read, and I still carry a book or two with me when I travel. It's not like I exactly have a ton of time for leisure reading these days, but that's also something I hope will change if I ever manage to graduate.
Anyways, is there any reason I should keep the Kindle if I already have an iPad? Any perks I don't know about? Not gonna lie...I'm leaning towards selling it at the moment...
I used to be a grad student. And now I'm not (thank goodness). I spent a year as a post doc in industry in Baltimore before starting a "real" job with the same company. These are my tales of science, food, travel, and life.
