Considering buying both the cheap $79 e-reader and Kindle Fire.

Has anyone used this? Is there a better option for internet book reading? Also, is the Fire worth it?
 
I've had the cheap version (which broke by being dropped two flippin' feet) and the Kindle Fire. I ADORE the Kindle Fire. Best money I've (technically, the Stunt Cock) ever spent. The amount of apps, books, video and audio you can store on it is pretty decent AND if you get Amazon Prime, you can streaming a fuck load of videos on it for free. ^.^

The main reason I really wanted it was because it was backlit. I don't get a lot of time during the day to read and I dig reading in bed while the Stunt Cock is asleep. It's a lot easier than the wonky light attachments you have to use for the regular Kindles and the brightness is adjustable.
 
I bought the first gen kindle, and then replaced it with a third gen. I love it, they are very easy on my eyes. I also like that they sync with my phone so I can read at work or while waiting in town.
 
Thanks loves :) as it turns out I shall have to wait until next pay period to get the Fire so I will have plenty of time to research.
 
I'm not sure what type mine is, as far as I know it's just a Kindle. I absolutely LOVE it though and it goes with me everywhere. I got a cheapy case from amazon for ~$5. It's pretty thick and has protected it really well from being dropped and sat on. Speaking of my kindle, I have about 35+ free books that need reading still. :shifty:

I have a Kindle Keyboard (originally marketed as one of the 3rd gen kindles) and like it quite a lot. I do wish it had some kind of indiglo style backlight when I read in the evenings but I love reading on it. The e-ink doesn't cause the eye fatigue that I am used to getting while reading on a computer screen.

That said, the Kindle Fire is legit as heck. It may be marketed as a Kindle with a color, backlit screen but in reality it is the most successful android-based tablet on the market at the moment.

Thanks guys. Have you all found any good sources for free books out there? Not that I'm against buying books, but free stuff is legit.

When I was younger I spent a lot of time reading older books from Project Gutenberg which are all older out of copyright books.

Amazon's digital library has quite a few free books that are worth a read. Indie authors often publish them as free just to attract attention to their other books and get their name out there.
 
google mobilism, it's a forum where there are a lot of books. Also torrent sites.

I have a kindle 2nd gen (I think) and I love it, it doesn't have all the features of the Fire but it does all I want it to (read books). I got my mother the $79 one for my mother, it doesn't have a keyboard which is the only difference. I rarely use the keypad on mine anyway.

All public libraries have some free kindle books that you can check out through amazon, just like a physical book in the library itself. Amazon also has tons of free books that you can "buy" too.
 
On top of that, Amazon offers daily deals where you can get books for $0.99 or $1.99 depending on the original price. Not free but pretty damn cheap. I've bought quite a few interesting books from the daily deals. :D
 
Thanks everybody :D
 
epubs don't work on kindles btw, .mobi is the one you want. PDFs and epubs etc converted to mobis work but will often have spelling or formatting errors throughout.

I have both the2nd or 3rd generation Kindle (not sure which?!?) and the Kindle Fire. The first Kindle I got was a gift from about 3 of my regular on MFC. They bought it for me right before Christmas of 2010 when I was going to have surgery so I would have something to do! I must say that was the best present ever! Very easy to use, its nice for reading in direct sunlight, light weight and honestly the best thing EVER in my opinion. I got the Kindle Fire as a Christmas present from my family this past Christmas. I must admit I haven't played with it as much as I would of liked because of projects going on around the house but its also pretty awesome. It has lots of nice features, apps, games etc. I think when I start traveling a little more I will appreciate the fire better but as of now I really enjoy my regular Kindle much more. Since I like being outside the Kindle fire is really not that user friendly unless in the shade, much like a laptop, whereas the regular kindle you can read in direct sunlight with no problems.

Ask yourself this question...Do you want a book reader or something more similar to an IPad? If you want a great book reader save the money and buy a regular Kindle. I would recommend splurging on the 3G version so you can download books from anywhere at anytime though. If you want something with apps and all the bling and shit then go with Kindle Fire.

Hope this helps! Oh and not sure if you know this or not but you can download Kindle for PC for FREE!!! It will give you access to the Kindle Library and you can buy and d/l books to your PC and when you do get your Kindle it will move any books on your PC to your Kindle as well!

These are my thoughts exactly. The e-ink kindles are far better if you are going to spend most of your time actually reading. They are much easier on the eyes. I spend most of the day at the office looking at computer screens and coming home in the evening and reading on the non-backlit, e-ink kindle is a definite plus. The Fire has many things going for it, but the earlier kindles beat it hands down (in my opinion) for actual reading.

I decided to peek in here for a bit, and what Elay said helps a lot. I have the 3rd generation with e-ink, got it for Christmas from my nana.. At first I really wanted to get the Fire but I asked myself those questions also and I'm glad I have that. It's really good for car trips unless it starts getting dark, but you can always buy a book light to clip to your kindle cover if you have one. And if I ever want to get a tablet, I'll just worry about that later. I use my laptop much more for anything internet related and my phone for certain apps instead, so right now a tablet would be a bit of waste of money.

With Kindle, any book written before 1923 (I think, might be another year around that same time) is free :D That's the main reason I really, really want a Kindle myself!

All the classics for free... I'd never leave my house :P
 
Agree about the 3g one, I got the wi-fi and should have sprung for the 3g just a little less hassle.
 
I don't know if it's cool to mention this here, but I bought a kindle fire and it's awesome and all but I NEVER use it, EVER.

It's brand new, no marks or anything, and it has a nice $30 zipper pouch. I have used it maybe like 3 hours in it's whole life.

If anyone wants to buy my used kindle I'd be glad to sell it for cheap!

PM me if you wanna. (priority will go to OP if she wants it :) )
