The new Kindles had already hit the shelves, and I got one. It was a very nice travel companion. I downloaded some books and magazines, uploaded my work documents, travel information, and restaurant reviews, and subscribed to a few online publications. For the first time ever, I thoroughly enjoyed traveling. <br /><br />A few weeks later, the Fire launched. I got one. I loved it. Add games and apps to the list of things my travel companion could do. It read to me, played me movies and audio books, and was a better e-reader in dim light. That Christmas, I got everyone a Fire. <br /><br />I just bought a FireHD. It's amazing. The screen, the speakers, and performance are all improved. I coupled it with a Bear Motion case with bluetooth keyboard. All of a sudden my 'go to' computer is a Kindle.<br /><br />Thank you Jeff Bezos!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-12300022589928037142013-03-29T10:32:03.760-04:002013-03-29T10:32:03.760-04:00I own two kindle e readers The paper white , and t...I own two kindle e readers The paper white , and the entry level one. I only read books on these. I also own a 7" kindle fire HD and a Ipad. I agree with you on your points. For reading the two e-ink readers are better for that. Between the two Tablets the I pad is better, but I find myself grabbing the Kindle Fire when walking out the door because of portability. You can find some of the apps not in the Amazon app store on sites like Get Jar and 1 Mobile market.
