I hope this isn't the death knell for the iPad mini and I hope they don't go
down the same route with their phones. I have an iPhone SE because I don't
want nor do I need a big screen.

You may also want to consider that Apple may be about to discontinue the iPad
Mini 4, and stop the line altogether. It is believed that the mini is not
selling as well as the bigger iPad, because of the larger phones. I myself
would like the iPad mini if the volume could be enhanced.

Hi. OK. I'll bite and start the conversation. I don't own any of the apple
devices you mention. Actually, I don't own any Apple devices.
Nor do I own a smartphone.
Neither do I own an Echo.
Nor, do I use audible.
So, I'll have to pass those questions off to someone else.
Although, I do own a first generation VR Stream. (2009) And, my laptop
(2004) runs Windows XP!
I still use the laptop alot, but, the VR Stream is gathering dust since I just
pull up Talking Books on my Fire tablet.
I also read Kindle books and I find the Fire tablet fine in this regard.
The bard mobile app for talking books also is a winner at least in my opinion.
I guess the decision, for me, boiled down to price.
You can't complain with a $50. price point retail. And, often on sale for $10.
bucks less. Or, that rare black friday sale of $34 which is the price I paid
for my 7" Fire from Amazon.
Stay well ... William

Hello all, a decision before me is whether to purchase an ios tablet
like the I pad mini or I pad or an amazon fire tablet. I especially
wonder if buying audible or kindle books is easier on the amazon fire
tablet than than an ios device, or is it about the same? Also, I want
the tablet of some kind to manage an echo, since my computer is older
and still works but has security issues since it is XP. I don't yet
have a smart phone. My only other devices are vr streams, which do not
really figure in here. A lot to throw at you all, thanks for any light
you can throw my way. Best, Ginnie.
