iPad lover that can't get rid of a kindle paperwhite
3 of 3 found this helpful I converted to everything apple about 5 years ago giving up the frustration of Microsoft, pc, and diy computer builds. I really do not care about the "limitations" that Apple places on their products, the things work and they last for years compared to the pc's that are pumped out by the thousands. Ok, off the soap box of why I like Apple, just my opinion and we all have one, it's what makes us different. Amazon and the kindle paperwhite, it is just a great ebook! My nose is continually in books, working on finishing a degree.
Pros:
The thing has an amazing battery life, you can see it in direct sunlight, it is light, and is the size of a paperback book! Amazon owns this market and have done a great job at refining the paperwhite every year. I can easily recommend the first gen paperwhite as well. By far the best ebook reader that you can see.
Cons:
It is not great at anything other than reading. The highlight feature is nice but limited since it is black and white. I love the different highlight colors the kindle app allows on the iOS app. The browser ability that Amazon has put on the kindle is extremely slow and clunky. The kindle paperwhite can not handle the Internet for browsing. Don't frustrate yourself by trying to do so, just get on your Mac or iPad and research on the internet that way.
Again, I will probably always have an iPad and a paperwhite, until apple decides to integrate e ink someway into an iPad. So if you are looking for a great way to save on books and still want "a close a possible to a book feel" , this is it.

Amazing! With data connection speeds avg 10mbps in my area :)
I had an iPhone 4 prior to purchasing the 4S and what a great upgrade. I mainly use my iPhone for the smartphone side of things (internet,email, and of course apps). It definitely runs much faster than the 4 and with better connection to cell towers and my Wi-Fi at home. Speaker phone and hearing the caller has improved some as well. Great phone, I am totally an Apple iPhone guy all the way.

This is a smartwatch!!
The pebble time steel is a great watch that supplements your phone instead of wearing a phone on your wrist. I am an apple person through and through but have not been sold on the apple watch. I wanted something that would allow me to be notified when someone was calling or I received a text. I also wanted a watch that had some serious battery life and you could see in the sunlight. Pebble was all that and it works perfectly. If you really want to play a game or go all out nerd on your wrist there are thousands of apps in the pebble store to do that. IMHO save the extra $200 and go with a very solid pebble time steel. It lasts about 10 days without charging and is on all the time, you can't beat that.
