Are ipads worth it?

[PattyBladell]

Vodafone keep offering me a good deal on an ipad, and I'm very easily led and convinced....

I read a lot of books on my kindle, but it's very old and tired now and could probably do with replacing. I use the kindle app on my iphone but I don't find the screen big enough so it's quite hard. I also like the idea of being able to use recipe apps and websites on a bigger screen rather than squinting at my phone, and there's a few games I would play too. Are they really worth it or would I probably just be wasting money? Do they do anything amazing that means I absolutely cannot live without it? I can afford it, but I'm wondering whether I should or not

I love my iPad and wouldn't be without it now. However, although I do sometimes use it for reading, I think the main problem is how quickly the battery runs out if using it for reading as opposed to a kindle.

Wellll I've just ordered it. Hope it's worth it

I use mine for watching tv in bed when I want to use headphones and not disturb hubby/baby.
White noise for naps.
Sometimes instagram.
Looking things up.
Recipes in the kitchen.
My fave thing is the fact that it connects to my iCloud so all my photos are on there and I can view them on a bigger screen.
I love mine but it's not ESSENTIAL like my phone but I do always have an iPad. Had one for about 10 years alongside my Apple phone.
Also use it for calming down toddler with screen time.

@hunyouok that top one is also a use that I hadn't thought of! When DH is watching something I don't like I'm usually just mindlessly scrolling on my phone, so at least I could watch something with headphones in

I use mine daily for browsing the web, watching programmes in bed, playing games etc but I don't read books on it because i'm old school paperback! I had to replace mine recently and whilst the cost was quite eye watering when i worked out how long i'd had the old one and how much it had been used, it really didn't owe me anything.

Yes
