Great Tool Bought at a Decent Price
Certified Refurbished Fire HD 10 Tablet - 5 Stars - Superb
I got this as a therapy tool for my stepfather who is in a skilled nursing unit. He keeps in touch with the outside world via Facebook. He was able to "attend" his granddaughters wedding via a live stream. I added an app for the bible version of his choice. I set him up with $25 in coins to buy apps. Playing games "exercises" his synapse and improves his hand/eye coordination and dexterity. It relieves the boredom of being confined to a single building with the same people 24/7. He's really happy with it.
After I set him up with a Prime account, he'll have access to a library of books, music and movies. Residents have minimal space and are discouraged from accumulating much in their area. Having a variety of entertainment venues come through a single device helps free his room of books, CDs and Disk Players. He doesn't have to depend on someone coming to his room to get him a book or help set up a player. He keeps his tablet on his side table. I got a heavy case for it, should it slide off his bed. Since the tablet is encased, I etched his name in the case w/o damaging the tablet should I need to return it.
I probably have 'bout $150 in the tablet, the case, his bible app and the $25 I started him out with. As far as his mental health, I couldn't have made a better purchase.
