Here's the deal. I'm going on a Disney World trip in January. I want a simple IPAD computer to take with me. BUT. I do not want to learn Apple systems.
What I want is one of the windows clones that does all the same things. The only reason I want this is to maybe play movies, stay connected to the internet, and get news I can trust instead of depending on CNN for a week.
Do you all have any recommendations? I do not want a tiny smartphone. I've no one to call, and I don't need a monthly fee. I want something to connect to free wireless. (that said, I've never had anything that connected to wireless.)
Do you have anything you like? (and can I download a book like a kindle?)

Have you looked at a Google Chromebook? They're relatively inexpensive.
If you want Kindle compatibility, there are Kindle Reader apps for nearly every platform.

I have an ipad mini and it really didn't take much to learn how to use it.
There are several windows tablets and android tablets, I would check out the best buy website and amazon and find what sounds good to you and read the reviews.
If you don't mind android I would guess the kindle fire would suit your needs. I haven't messed with any of the windows tablets so can't say anything about them. I do know that you can get a kindle app for any tablet and read books on it.

My wife has a pretty good android tablet. It does e-mail and web browsing--- and facebook --- I haven't tested it myself, but it's her traveling gadget for trips shorter than a week.
