I bought a pair of non-polarized Ray Ban's with progressive lenses from readingglasses.com

On the RayBan's at readingglasses.com, does the website allow you to prescibe the segment height? (I find that mine needs to be about 3 mm lower than norm.)

That I don't know. I never saw anywhere for specifying anything such as that. I simply ordered green with progressive 2.5 lens.

Re: Which Android tablet to buy?

The Nexus 9 with 32GB is readily available on Amazon.
I'm using 1/2 the US Database with IFR and using 3.8gb of 17 available.
The Good:
Screen brightness is excellent
GPS is excellent.
WiFi is excellent
Battery life is 12 hours with continuous use (screen on)

The Bad:
Be careful when updating OS. Android 7.0 is the current and iFly has known  
issues that should be resolved with the next update. (All android devices)
Charging the battery takes longer than other tablets

Updated: I agree that the Nexus 9 fits most of my recommendations, especially the screen size and aspect ratio.

Did they ever fix the QC issues with the Nexus 9? (Primarily the screen bleed.) People were complaining about how the back would "oil can" in and out too. I would have bought one when they first came out, but kinda of expensive back then for those problems and no ext SD.

Edit: Just looked at the price on Amazon. Yikes! Makes the Gal Tab S2 AMOLED look affordable.
