[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use Overdrive (app) on our ipad -- allows instant downloading of library books. When your kids are younger they will read books over and over but as they get older, not to much. Can you download library books on the kindle? If so, then I would make the investment to buy more, especially if the 7 year old will use it. Also overdrive lets you download audio books from the library, which is great for long drives (well, in your case the 5 & 7 year old could listen to the same thing).[/quote] The Fire is a fully functional tablet; that's my main hesitation! But, yes, we can get library books, Netflix, etc.. We have Audible, and a bunch of books on that; I had thought about that. My daughter (3.5) wants to listen to Curious George over and over and over and over which drives the older boys NUTS. The fires would let them listen to some of the other books, or read ... We had a talk last night. We're going to go for it. We're going to buy two for this trip, and then we'll reevaluate as necessary.[/quote]
