efpierce Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 I know that tablets are very good study aides for children and adults alike , but how effective would the Kindle Fire be since it is not able to download Adobe Reader which is used for many of the available Android learning apps? Quote
kitkat0124 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 I think it depends on what applications or game you will use. For the kids it's better to download games that can be useful for them. It will motivate a kid if she is learning and enjoying at the same time. Many games are kids friendly. I have a kindle fire I use it for more for reading. I stored many books in it. Quote
RomanAnthonysMama Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 I think that any tablet, especially a Kindle that promotes reading and learning would be great tools in developing new language skills. I bet they have so many books and resources on how to learn new languages in their store. I've utilized my laptop and tablet as ways to learn new languages, so I'm sure they would work wonderfully as well. Quote
jessfun Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 Anything that promotes reading will help develop and reinforce comprehension skills. The more you are exposed to written material the better that you will get at mastering the semantics of the language, given that you are consciously making an effort to improve yourself. You have access to thousands of material you can use. I also believe that the Kindle has a built in dictionary as well. Quote
SpiralArchitect Posted December 7, 2013 Report Posted December 7, 2013 I don't think Kindle Fire can specifically be considered a learning tool and if it can't download adobe softwares then it is limited even more. Quote
MyDigitalpoint Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 I think that buying a Kindle Fire is too much for a children and truly expensive to be worth for such purpose due to its limitations.For a children any Chinese unbranded tablet is okay, bearing in mind they tend to play with their tablets and may need a cheap replacement in the short term.

devilishomar Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 A lot of books are now being ported to the Kindle. I think it's great because the Kindle makes life so much easier. Carry a thousand books in your pockets, that's a bargain right there.I think it's a great learning tool because you not only get access to the classical books for free (such as classic English Literature), the ones that are not free are very cheap!I also find it really elegant to read on (even the Kindle Fire).

pandandesign Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 It depends on what I have to learn. I used to have a Kindle, which I mainly used for reading because that was the reason why I bought the Kindle e-reader. I don't usually download apps for learning purpose because it is meant to be used as a learning tool because it is not like other tablets which are dedicated for learning. Quote
Trellum Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 There are many apps you can easily download and use on your tablet, but I'm afraid you will need something better if you want to use Adobe Reader! I'd recommend you buy a normal tablet, most tablets support Adobe Reader. There are some tablets that even have Windows 8.1 as their OS. So why not investing on a good tablet instead? That would be much nicer, don't you think? I received a phablet as a gift and I'm quite happy with it Quote
dorannmwin Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Depending on what kind of free or paid apps you have, I think that any Kindle, Android or apple product can be a very good learning tool. The thing is, in it's factory state without and kind of apps added then I really don't think they can be used as a learning tool. Quote
GingerSpice Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 Tablets/Smartphones can definitely be great learning tools, I have a few apps on my phone! I guess it depends what app you are using as to whether it's helpful or not, because some of the apps I've tried out for the iPhone are really bad. I have a Kindle for reading though and I love it, but I don't use it to help you learn languages as much as I just read on it in English instead. Quote
Vernon Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Luckily, I found a reliable guide on ccleaner pro cracked that explains how to get including official free trials and legitimate discounts. It helped me clean my PC efficiently without risking viruses or crashes. I’d definitely suggest going this route instead of hunting for cracked files that can harm your device. Quote
