It seems like there is a lot of controversy over tablets and what not going on here and I feel like I am in the middle as well. Initially I was going to purchase an ereader (prob a cheap kindle) for my 9 year old daughter. She loves to read. but then thought, why not go a tablet since it can do more functions than just read. Whatever route I go I want to make sure it is something she can use for travel as she is going abroad next summer. I am trying to stay cheap as I am on a budget with two other children as well. Please help me!
