I owned one and it was a headache. This was two years ago so perhaps accessibility has improved a bit since then but still... One thing I will say though is that it was really handy having Alexa right there! I have an echo gen 2 in my kitchen now though and that works out fine as far as needing Alexa is concerned. I use the kindel app and the amazon app on my iPhone all the time and the accessibility is quite good. I'd put down a bit more cash and go for the basic iPad for $329. I'll be doing this at some point in the new year although part of me wants to wait until the next generation because maybe they'll bump up the storage and processor for the basic iPad model...
