I bought the kindle when it was on sale the other day because I’m ready to start reading ebooks. Our Ipod just broke and now we’re considering buying the Ipad mini. We were going to get the Ipad but I was going to hold off another year (won’t get at all if we get the mini). Now we need to access our music, audiobooks and some educational apps. I’m wondering if I should return my kindle or keep it? If I have both then will one device have certain books and the other device have other books? Is there a way to combine them on either device?
I’m way out of my league here and I want to make sure I’m not going to disorganize myself instead of streamlining the effort. Thanks!
Hubby and I both use iPhones and iPads for everything. Kids have iPod nanos they purchased for music and audiobooks. Older 3 have Kindle paperwhites for reading. I think there is room for both, if you will use both.
And you can have any of your Kindle books on both devices, if that’s more convenient for you. We have an ipad2 and a kindle fire, but not a lot of crossover in books between them.
The ipad has my SCM PDF books because I like the big screen for those (and my aging eyes approve, lol).
The kindle has lots of books that I read, homeschooling books that aren’t pdfs, media, audiobooks, etc.
A couple of my kids use the kindle app on defunct smartphones to read some of their homeschooling books.
More specifically, you can control from your Amazon account which device gets which books. Once your devices (kindle and the ipad kindle app) are “registered” with your Amazon account, you can control all of that. And you can choose to have your books synced to the furthest point read, across the devices…that’s handy if you want to grab and go from any device, but not if you have multiple people reading the same book, individually, at their own pace.
