Bought mine refurbished to use purely as portable music player as hardly any well known manufacturers seem to be making them nowadays. Tablet is far better to use as I can download whichever music player app I want and make sure they can play different formats. Good in terms of graphics and sound, though I would not use one for books myself as the screen on the 6^ I have got is too small. I would not bother using it for main machine either as the 8gb storage without the possibility of extending through memory cards, is inadequate.
