KINDLE FIRE HDX vs SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 LDS APPS
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2014 3:42 pm
Hello,
I hope I am doing this right and that my question is answered by someone out there in tech-o land who has owned one or both devices.
I would like to purchase my first tablet for primarily four reasons
1. Read scriptures and novels
2. Have scriptures and novels read aloud (audio books)
3. Watch church videos (Mormon Channel, Bible videos, etc.)
4. Read e-mail when away from home
My husband has a Kindle Fire and is able to have scriptures read aloud with ease and the tap of an on-screen menu. Is this feature available with the Samsang Galaxy II? Is the Galaxy as simple to navigate and access LDS apps? What are the apps like that offer parental controls. (Sadly, it does not - from what I understand - come pre-loaded with parental controls as the Kindle does. Customer Service tells me they can be "easily" installed with imported apps.) Is an 8.9" Kindle Screen or Galaxy 10.1 screen a nice size for a 40-something mom to read scriptures with? (My husband has a 7" screen and by the time I pump up the font, it just feels to squeezed for me to enjoy reading with.)
If you have opinions on one device or the other, I would greatly appreciate your sharing!
Thank you,
Heather
