The response is a bit slow, so until I became used to it I kept typing the same letter twice because I thought it hadn't worked the first time. Still, I wasn't expecting miracles for £60!Īs far as writing is concerned, it's very useful. Well, as several people pointed out, the quality of the camera isn't wonderful, which is a little disappointing because I was hoping to use it to make short videos. So, I've been using it for a week or so now. I also asked in the Facebook group for ICT and Computing teachers whether anyone had a Fire, and what they thought of it.

I thought, if someone does grab it off me and race off, I'd have lost 'only' £75 and would still have all my contacts and still be able to make phone calls.īefore buying it I checked to make sure there was a version of JotterPad in the Amazon apps store: there is. This is a small tablet computer, at a fraction of the price of an iPad or similar - the version I bought is a Kindle Fire 7" with 16Gb it cost me £60 plus £15 for the case. So I looked around for an alternative solution, and was attracted by the Kindle Fire. Why not? Partly because I want to make sure I have enough battery left for essential stuff like texting and phoning, and partly because I don't fancy being mugged for my phone. However, I don't much like using my phone for that. (See 7 useful features of a Kindle, and R eview of JotterPad, a writing app, respectively.) When I'm out and about I like to try and make the best use of my time, either by reading, using my Kindle, or writing, using my phone.
