For the price, outstanding value - the ads are only on lockscreen, very unobtrusive
CHEAP! Paid $39 for a Kindle 8 tablet, which is trivial to download the actual google play store on, and from there install must have Apple Music and Marvel Unlimited (and all sorts of other nice stuff like google voice works just fine as well). Bluetooth to my stereo, install Perfect Viewer and Comixology from the Amazon AppStore (the google play version of PF is little buggy - picture is screwy, but no bother, works great from Amazon appstore Long story short this cheap little tablet makes a perfect device to read my digital comics (I have an e-ink device and actually mostly dead wood when it comes to real books) - and with great Bluetooth support and ability to install Apple Music I find myself barely missing my (accidentally smashed) iPad mini.Excellent value!
