[dba-Tech] Kindle

[Dan Waters]

A Nexus 7 has 216 PPI and it weighs 10.23 oz.

A Kindle Paperwhite has 300 PPI and it weighs just 7.2 oz.  

I was using a Nook HD+ for reading eBooks.  While the color screen was very
nice, the glare on the screen was tiring for my eyes.  And it was heavy at
18.15 oz.  I got a Kindle Voyage - it's nice.

7" Nexus 2013 is fast, pretty, cheap. Avoid Samssungs, loaded down with
undeletable crapware.
