Just use the device built for that, the Kindle.

Does the Kindle have BT? I know the three I have don't, and she doesn't have any other means to connect any type of audio device. Radio, CD, BT - all she has in the car.

Mine does not, the ones that the kids have do.

I ordered Raspberry Pi zero W from https://robu.in/product/raspberry-pi-zero-w-with-raspberry-pi-zero-w-accessories-kit/.
What exactly does the NOOBS Software do?

NOOBS sets up your choice of OS for you. It's not needed, but is handy if you don't have another computer to setup an OS.

Also, if you have these sorts of questions in the future, just make a new thread.

@travisdh1
Of the three videos of the 'same ' project, they all soldered wires to GPIO and Power pins on the bottom, and then used electrical tape to insulate the USB metal housing from the board.

I expected that someone could 3d print a bottom cover / USB housing...

The biggest item I can see is that the Zero is a single Core and 512MB, whereas the Pi3 is a quad core and 1GB.

so your MIPS and such are going to be better for a 'desktop' with the Pi3 than the Zero. However,... if you don't need all that, go with what you want..

The extra CPU isn't needed. It's not for a GUI, it's for a CLI interface.

Ah -Okay.. if all you need is CLI I suppose that makes sense. Sadly some of what I need still needs the GUI so need more power.

I thought the Zero had no connectors, you had to soder on anything you wanted to connect

It only has 2 micro USB for data and power, and a micro sd card slot.

Thanks, I should have looked before posting.

We have wanted to get one of these kits for a while but with all of our travelling it fell by the wayside. Maybe we will get around to getting one now. They are very cool. It is a great idea and I'm sure that my seven year old would love it.

Saw it over the weekend... Might be in the order pile soon..
