If you want to find a cheap eBook reader, then you shall choose Kindle. It is the only answer many questions. It is the best and cheapest ebook reader in the world.

But there is no example to show you how to build such complicated chart which has dual-Y axis, stacked columns and line at the same time.

Currently, when we talk about tablets, the first tablet comes in my mind is always iPad, no matter iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3. As we know, all apple devices have their own special port called lightning. It is a special port is only supported by apple. You cannot connect any USB devices with your tablets, or you have to buy a very expensive adapter to connect.
