An ipad it's not but it's sure worth $58.

Sorry, William. The hardware is a cheap piece of junk. If you’re willing to put
up with his foibles, yes. You can do lots of stuff with it. But that doesn’t
change the fact that the hardware is cheaply made. The speakers are lousy.
There are artifacts in the voice view voice. It’s just cheap. That’s not bad in
and of itself. But if you want a real smooth experience, the tablet ain’t it.
Sorry.

Hmm. Cheap piece of junk? That comment is way off base! If you got
$400 bucks to spend on a iPhone/iPad, more power to you! I use my
5-year-old lowly 6 inch 4th generation to listen (just recently) to
DNC and Sunday worship services on Youtube, not to mention the ZOOM
app for all of my communication needs! The NPR News app is great as
well. Better than the installed app on my iPhone/Android phone. With
Alexa, I can listen to any radio station I prefer! Just a few
possibilities! All for a $40 bucks device! Cheaper than my first
transistor radio!
If you really want the ability to do text writing easily, get a PC,
Mac or Chromebook! JMHO!
By the way, I still use my 10-year-old Kindle Keyboard to listen to
almost all of my Kindle books! The skinny!
Stay well. William

Flick quickly up and down or down it up with one finger to change
granularity. Does it always work? No. It’s a cheap android piece of
junk tablet. Do you know what they say. You get what you pay for.
It’s great for reading barred an audible and if you like the voices
they offer you, Kendall. But other than that, I wouldn’t use this tablet for
anything else.
It’s basically an Amazon sales and entertainment device. Do you want
some thing where the jesters work consistently, get an iPhone or an
iPad. Not this tablet. Just my opinion.
