answer:I’ll take the Ipod. I like my Ipad, because it is lightweight, and the screen is a good size for doing all I like to do on the internet. My android phone, similar to an iphone, is too small in my opinion to do much on the internet. I can’t imagine reading a book on a smartphone. The negative and positive about the ipad is it is back lit, so in sunlight it is hard to see the screen, but in low light, or even total darkness you can still be on the internet no problem. I watch movies on it, fluther, Email, facebook. I like it. There are similar ipad type things out there that are a little smaller, that might be better because it is more portable. If I remember correctly the Android ones you can even put your card in from your phone and have the data there, maybe even use it as a phone? Not sure. If you like to read books, and will likely be in sunlight or a lot of light the Kindle has a good screen for that, but I don’t think you can do much else on it.
