Source: [None] URL Source: [None] Published: May 31, 2015 Author: Me Post Date: 2015-05-31 19:11:34 by Chuck_Wagon Keywords: None Views: 11767 Comments: 42 Okay. My mom (81 years old) has been a very avid reader ever since the sun burst into flames. So about once a week she goes to, yes, the library. She likes mystery, history and romance. Decades ago I bought her every Agatha Christie novel that I thought she had not read. (I missed on a few - she HAD read them.) Nonetheless - I think - for either her birthday or Christmas - I am going to buy her a Kindle. Being an avid reader as she is - she is the perfect candidate for one. Anyone know anything about these cute little beasties? Any help would be appreciated!

One that functions as just a library of books and one that is a library of books and a tablet. I would opt for the Kindle White as it is easier to navigate. You will most likely still need to help her download books if she is not tech savvy. All Kindles are wifi capable and some have a 3G/4G capability. That one is good for those who do not have internet or wifi. You can also download books on line via USB. If you get her one of the Kindle Fire editions, she can download and read books and also download movies and TV programs. Best to get the Amazon Prime membership as this will allow her to read some books for free and get some old movies for free as well. The Fire editions don't come with a 3G/4G capability from what I know. redleghunter  posted on  2015-06-01   11:18:23 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #11.

Just about any tablet can download an eBook, movies, TV shows and surf the net. However with Kindle you have one stop shopping at the Kindle store and free cloud storage as well. Other tablets probably have this as well, but it is made quite easy with Amazon. One disadvantage is once you go Amazon and download a bunch of books or keep them in cloud, I believe it is impossible to transfer the data to another tablet. However, Kindle does offer Apps for download on lap tops/desk tops, smart phones and other devices where you can access your Kindle data through the App. Worth exploring. redleghunter  posted on  2015-06-01   12:42:18 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #30. To: redleghunter, Chuck_Wagon (#12) One disadvantage is once you go Amazon and download a bunch of books or keep them in cloud, I believe it is impossible to transfer the data to another tablet. No. Never heard of this with Amazon or iTunes. You have an account as an individual and you can use all of your various devices and store and cloud features on any device. This way you can add devices if you have a iPhone and add an iPad. One account, multiple devices. This is an integral concept in cloud storage. So on Apple devices you might be editing a document or viewing a webpage on your iPhone. When you get to the office or home, you'll see the same document being edited and the same webpages being displayed. All bookmarks, open browser tabs, and matching apps (like a web browser or spreadsheet or word processing document) are kept open and synchronized within seconds at all times. Email was the original cloud app, particularly the IMAP version that you can use on various cellphones. Like Google's email app. You could keep a GMail app or a Chrome tab open and all the email you sent/received were updated in realtime. Apple did much the same with their mail services. Realtime sync between personal devices on a cloud account is pretty much a required feature. You see this with other cloud services, Dropbox being a primary example. Dropbox makes files available at all times to all devices on your account and synchronizes them automatically so if the document is changed on one machine (cellphone/tablet/computer), it is updated on all of them. Another key concept in cloud storage is being able to store ebooks or documents, as with the Kindles. You might have a Kindle Paperwhite with your library on it. And you might have an iPad with the Kindle app, making all the titles available on it and you could add the Kindle app to your Android cellphone so you could read your library on it. For each device, you have sync between devices of your own notes and bookmarks. The same kinds of cloud features and messaging are present on eBay's various apps and desktop browser website. Another key cloud feature is being able to store huge amounts of data and choose which ones to transfer to a local device like a tablet or cellphone. So a Kindle Paperwhite might hold 1,000 books but you might have 10,000 (or 100,000) books up in your cloud account. So, for each device on your account, you can choose which ebooks in the cloud that you want to carry on that device, ready to read. Everybody is doing the cloud nowadays. One cloud account using many devices per consumer account (or family account if you are using a family account for iTunes or Amazon).

I just bought my first tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1. I since opened a Dropbox account on my laptop and downloaded the app to the tablet. It works but is very slow in syncing with my laptop, also added the Adobe Acrobat app which seems to be needed to view pfd files. I would recommend Dropbox. I also loaded Skype on the tablet and Echo tested it but haven't made a video call on it yet. I added Amazon for Android and the associated Amazon Kindle to the tablet, both seem to work well. Other apps on the tablet that work well are YouTube, Google and the Weather Channel. All three of my email accounts are working well on the tablet. I am thinking about adding the MSOffice for tablet app but ??????????? I haven't tried to organize files on the tablet. Any suggestions on apps or how to? Thanks.

Any suggestions on apps or how to? Dropbox works pretty seamlessly on all devices and with their desktop app for various OSes (Mac, Windows, Linux) where it consists of a special folder tied to a syncing app. You'll probably be happier organizing your Dropbox files on their web site or just doing it directly in your local folder. I would say to do it on their website since it will let you manage all the document in your Dropbox account, not just the ones on your local device. That way, all changes will be reflected to all devices. On Galaxy Tab and other Android devices, a quick and dirty document manager and Office document app is QuickOffice. It's kind of a standard. Or if you aren't too attached to MS Office documents, you could just go with Google Drive with their 15GB of free storage for all you devices and offering basic word processing, spreadsheet, presentation apps. You mentioned installed Adobe Acrobat. That is okay for viewing a PDF and you can sign up for a free Adobe Cloud account and use the cloud features on your various devices. Every bozo in Silicon Valley wants to create a cloud, you see. To create documents, I suggest a few free or low-cost apps like PDF Document Scanner. You can create PDFs of very large documents, like I did for a big ancestry chart that was about 30" x 20" a while back. You couldn't fit it into a home scanner. So it was easier just to take photos of it to combine into a single PDF document. You can also photograph full-page documents to convert into a single PDF document and upload it to your various cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive, making it available on all your devices. For raw file management on Android, advanced users like Titanium Backup. Other popular choices are ES File Explorer and FX. To get the most good from these programs, you should root (jailbreak) your device which is very easy on Android devices. That way you can modify system files as you like (including making live backups of your entire device). However, your Galaxy Tab 4 does include a basic file manager called My Files. It is a standard feature on Samsung's phones and tablets for some years now. Look for the icon on your tablet. If you can't find it, look in the full list of system apps and it has to be there. It is a system app and can't just be easily deleted (though you might have deleted off the icon from your main panels for the user interface. To kill an app like My Files, you have to root your device and use one of the advanced file managers I mentioned above. I, for instance, did delete the user icon for it and, on the rare occasions I use My Files, I run it from the list of apps, not from my cellphone "desktop". I usually prefer the more advanced file managers that allow plugins, like ES File Explorer or FX. BTW, I run My Files on a Samsung Galaxy S3 cellphone but you'll find that My Files works the same on all Samsung models and it has for a long time. Overall, raw file management is okay but you have to know a lot more details about where your device stores its documents. Usually, only developers and hacker-type users do much of this kind of direct file manipulation. You probably really want to just run the standard OS and manage your files via your cloud-enabled apps like Dropbox or using My Files.
