So far, I've resisted a tablet purchase for me or any family members. Between laptops, desktops, and smartphones the kids are pretty happy, though my wife is restless and my eventually get a tablet. Personally, I mostly view tablets as a way to consume more products, and I'm sorta maxed out there already. Could be worse, I have a client whose youngest son got into her Amazon account and racked up $800 in book purchases in a single month.
