[QUOTE="JKF, post: 590831, member: 12470"] LOL Skotti - it's a really old basic kindle that I had and gave to him. It's about 3 years old and maybe costs $60 new these days. No touch screen - just a manual pop up keyboard, black and white - no LED, no sound, no flash for animation, etc. Just your basic, run of the mill e-reader. It was just sitting here collecting dust so I figured he could use it for books and basic games etc. You can get the books free from the digital library in our county as long as you have a library card and the $0 games are downloadable through the Kindle App Store without a CC as long as you have an address set up. And even if that didn't work difficult child is a genius with operating systems, system programming, etc. He has that kindle doing things that even the programmers at Amazon probably don't know it can do! Now if only he'd use those skills to further himself in life! He can use WiFi at SH for an hour each night and he can use WiFi at the library all he wants. And if you think a Kindle is bad you should see what some of the other guys have at SH! Laptops, smartphones, iPads, flat screen tv's, game systems, etc. Omg! must be nice! I figured a 3 year old dusty Kindle won't get difficult child in too much trouble and hopefully I'm right! lol [/QUOTE]
