A:Answer My 55 yr old eyes were beginning to think we should try a paperwhite, but I read a lot. A whole lot since I broke my back. However, i have been using my kindle fire since the beginning to read and it's been awesome, and still is. And you can't look at color magazines or picture books, or listen to a book while reading it unles you're doing your reading on a fire, so think about all that you can't do on a plain reader. I just turn the screen brightness down when I read, and it's perfect.So I won't be wasting money on the very limited paperwhite or voyager either, after all, lol . And if you turn off your wifi by putting the fire on airplane mode, you'll extend your battery life significantly. And the fire has all the features like notes, instant lookups in dictionary and Wikipedia, prime, unlimited (which more than pays for itself every month),goodreads, that the readers have. So, enjoy your new FireHD ;-)
