    My teenage son is a gamer and I was trying to find a neat gift for a 16 year old that didn't have games on it. I figured I could return it if it was not his thing. He loves it and it has no games on it. He can read on it at night without the blue light that keeps people up. I just set him up with a gift card for books. Now, even though I have a regular tablet, I want one.
