I love e-ink displays. 100% better for reading. But, if you want a tablet for movies and games etc. this one is obviously not for you. If however you are a READER, this thing is perfect, and you won't get any glare if you read outside/ in the sun. Battery Life Honestly it lasts forever. Just be sure to check it before traveling, because sometimes you'll go so long without charging it that the 20% mark will sneak up on ya.

I adore the Baby K! This is the main Kindle I give away as a gift. It is light weight, easy to use, small for transportation in various bags and handbags and my favorite part - the page turn buttons. I wish my paperwhite had these page turn buttons. I lose myself in the story when I am reading on this device, there are zero distractions due to the sleekness of the device. I prefer to use this Kindle without a case. Increasing the font size helps my son practice his reading as he does not get confused by seeing a lot of words on a page. He doesn't realize that he is reading a large book that would be too intimidating in paperback or hard cover format. This also helps people dealing with macular degeneration continue to read long past the time they thought they would have to stop. It holds a charge longer than the keyboard Kindle does in my opinion. You can't go wrong with this device if you are looking to get someone back into the love of reading.

I have had an iPad for quite some time now but I originally purchased the kindle 4 because I have a pretty bad problem with eye strain. LCD screens just wear my eyes out so I thought I would give this kindle e-reader a shot. I haven't put it down since. I love the fact that it looks almost exactly like paper! Reading on this device is just as easy, as reading a regular book, and it is more convenient since you can purchase books in a couple of seconds. This is a fantastic product and I was not disappointed with any aspect of it. If you can find it for a good price pick it up right away, you wont regret it! Battery Life It last for weeks. The only negative I have is that if the wifi is left on than the battery will slowly drain even if its not in use. Other than that, the battery is fantastic. Design The design of this is simple and very easy to use. It only has a direction button pad so it may not have the functionality, of an iPad or other touchscreen devices, but it gets the job done.

I've had my kindle for 2 years and I love it. I have never had any problems with it. It was an easy set up and I synced all my accounts to it. I use many free sites and find some great reads. This is just an easy product to use. Battery Life It doesn't suck up the battery as fast as my other tablet (nexus 7) because it only has 1 purpose . I can plug it into my chromebook and it charges fast. Book Choices/Variety If you don't want all the bells and whistles then this is what you want. There are some games you can download, but nothing like the tablet games. That is the way I like it, just get down to reading the great stuff. There have been some upgrades within the year such as fonts, create new collections, and a browser. All of my books have downloaded perfectly with instant access to my books. Readability This is not a touch screen kindle, but that is fine with me. It is an easy reader, with rockers on both sides fwd/ back.., which makes it able to fit in your palm. The settings allow you to set it the way you like. You can make the font small or large and you have the options of making your screen bright or dim and even change line spacing, words per line, screen rotation, and typeface. Ease of Use Easy set up, very user friendly. Design Simple to use, sturdy structure. Durability I have had mine for 2 years and have never had anything go wrong with it. I do have a little spot on my screen , but that is because I never got a screen protector (my own fault).

The Kindle Fire is great for reading books. I especially enjoy that I can download books for FREE from my local library. I don't use it much for internet browsing or games, but for reading it is great! I do wish that it was touch screen, but I still enjoy using it for reading. Great product for a very reasonable price! Readability Difficult to read without good lighting. Ease of Use Wish it was touchscreen Durability I would recommend getting a case for it

I love my kindle! It was very affordable and I've saved a lot of money on books since buying it. The eink screen is amazing, it isn't lit so it doesn't hurt your eyes like reading on a normal screen. It is very lightweight and has an astonishingly long battery life. Unfortunately it is only in black and white, so while it's great for reading plain text, I can't read comic books on it. I would also probably opt for the touch screen version over the version with buttons if I were buying again. I wish they had an option with more memory space. You can store pretty many books on it as is now though.
