    being popular for little toddlers for learning devices but
    from what i've seen people aren't big tablet users anymore.
    our phones are so big it's like we have tablets.

    I don't see much people using tablets at all. Usually it is
    just sales people, because tablets allow them to show you
    cataloges and product sheet from a big screen, voiding the
    need of carrying paperbacks and the need of carrying a full
    laptop.

    +1 I've seen such a trend in my industry too.

    However.. I about 2yrs ago I *did* buy an Amazon Fire tablet
    for a senior relative so that she could view her family's
    Facebook galleries and messaging. But.. I still haven't
    delivered it.


    Other than that I don't see any tablet use anymore. Even
    the people who used them for reading pirated books has
    switched to ereaders. --

    I may consider using the Fire tablet myself. I'm tired of the
    relatively small video sizes of my Pixel or A7 when I feel like
    checking out a news program at bedside.
