#3 Android is not my favorite OS. Expletives omitted, because this is a family-oriented site.

#4 Fire isn't being sold outside the USA. Which is a shame as I'd like one. IPads are wildly overpriced.

#5 It's a lot lighter than my iPad I. It's only got 8GB of memory, but my iPad only has 16GB. 8GB is lots of books, and it's even pretty many songs, assuming I want to use it to listen to music, which I don't. I can check the 'Burg or the O Club or Facebook and make comments as long as I'm in WiFi range. I can play Angry Birds, should I suddenly lose my mind and develop the urge.

I don't have to program it, so I don't care if it's Android or iOS, as long as it's not Windoze.
