Kindle Fire HDX and other tablets?

though to be truly useful for me for work I would need to find a device that I can use a Citrix VPN connection to my computer at work. I suspect that would have to be a Windows device .

Be nice to whoever does your IT work ....There are Citrix Receiver App's for both Android and OS X. An IT person should be able to help you figure it out. I can connect with my iPhone, iPad air and Macbook pro.

Thank you all for your input. I went to the store at lunchtime to look at them again. The 8.9 is definitely a better size for reading. The reviews indicate that it also has better battery life than the 7". Unfortunately it's not on sale like the 7" versions are.

I think I am deciding between the 7" with 64gb and the 8.9" with 32gb. The larger screen size with 64gb is really more than I want to spend. Actually the 8.9 with 32gb is more than I want to spend, but I'm having a bit of a hectic week at work right now, the upside of which is that I get paid for some OT, and I was thinking that this would be an early 50th birthday present to myself...so I will think about it for a couple of days and maybe will decide to go with one of the 8.9 tablets.

Thanks again!!

I went with the Nexus 7 32 gig because of the android os. I prefer my Kindle paperwhite for reading, I just don't like the shiny screen on the Nexus for reading. The Nexus has been a lifesaver during chemo, I'm able to stream Netflix, thus starting a major House of Cards addiction while I get my infusion.
