I picked up a Nexus 7 years ago but found I wasn’t using it consistently enough compared to my laptop or kindle, so I gave it the boot.<p>But last year I bought an iPad to replace by broken Kindle. Between reading and deciding to put more consumption apps on it and stop using those on my laptop – Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, etc. – I started to get more use out of it.<p>In the end I have a tablet out of convenience of separating leisurely activities from work ones. Other than that it hasn’t provided significant value for me yet.
