I am like BFM and assume you are referring to the traditional Kindle eReader which has basically a B/W display.

Yes I am referring to the basic black and white kindle which is great for outdoor reading.

But frankly my favorite is Tunein Radio. There are a ton of other radio streaming apps for Android: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=radio&c=apps
Finally, if you're just looking for streaming music and not necessarily 'radio', you also have a ton of options: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=music&c=apps
and https://play.google.com/store/search?q=music+streaming&c=apps
From services and apps like Pandora to Shazam to XiiaLive to Tunein Pro...there are also hundreds of apps for individual radio stations, both AM and FM so you will never be lacking in music on your Nexus 7.

Thanks for the information. I hadn't realised that it was possible to stream an android device to an Apple TV.
i've used several of the music apps you mention. For music it's mainly iTunes, Spotify and TuneIn Pro. I use BBC iPlayer to stream TV.
I'll check out some of the apps (widgets?) you mention.
As is probably obvious, I not experienced in android devices (although I had a HTC phone a few years ago). I like the idea of alternatives to Apple if only to keep the prices down

My N7 is great outdoors! Way better than any other tablet I've had. I sell RV's and campers and keep all my information on my tablet and have had no problems out side.

I haven't had a chance to use it outdoors yet. It's very rainy and dull here at the moment so not the best time to try. :D :D

I've downloaded AppleTVMedia and it recognises my Apple TV but, at the moment, that's as far as I've got. I can't get it to stream BBC iPlayer or Spotify (I think another app is need for this). :(
A bit more research needed.
