I would like to know which one is better for handling pdf files. I have many pdf from university that I want to transfer and read from my tablet. I also would like the tablet to chat using skype. I am unsure between ipad 3 and kindle fire HD. I want something easy to pass my pdf file without problems of compatibility etc. I have 200 plus files that need available to pass and be able to read from the bus. I dont want a e-reader because i also want the option to use the skipe or use some basic apps. Any recommendation is appreciated. I dont mind price i just need something that makes the job. Basicaly need something for easy reading, organising pdf files, skype use, linkedin, twitter, and facebook. I am not sure if Kindle HD will do the work for personal pdf and neither sure passing my pdfs to an Ipad will be that easy. Please advise what to buy

As much as I hate apple... Go with the Ipad. Kindle OS is based off android which is based off linux. It is not supported by ANYTHING!!! You have to do some extra stuff to get android apps on the kindle. The ipad is more supported. I personally would recommend a Samsung Galexy Tab 3 and get the kindle book store app. Its more supported with a good price.

~good luck

The Kindle Fire HDX would provide you more portability, is lesser in weight and the cheaper one making it best bang for your bucks. You can easily read PDF's on it and those PDF's generally dont have any kind of issues where you cant read on one device and read on other. They work in a universal way.

Comparison and a list of pros and cons - Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" vs iPad 3:

And as far as the Skype is concerned, it works good on both devices too, you'll get a good picture quality and definitely a better experience of calls. So Kindle Fire HDX would be the better option as you get what you want in cheaper, whereas iPad 3 can be a bit expensive option and you get an Apple device.

Hope this helped!
