Just get an iPad Mini....and in my case, a good pair of reading glasses.

Seriously - I spend about an hour a day on couch with my iPad mini after everyone goes to sleep...I browse websites, catch up on email, maybe watch something on Netflix, sample music on iTunes, and a few times will do something in the Office/Excel version on the iPad.

When I divorce myself from the technology person, all I need is either my iPad mini or my iPhone 6 Plus.
