Kindle Fire HD or iPad?
Comments (13)I find the kindle fire much too heavy to read on and I have the smaller one. I also do not like the way pages turn. You cannot read one handed as you can w/ the regular kindle (at least I can't) and you have to touch the screen which I find distracting, not as reliable and I need to worry that my hands aren't wet or don't have popcorn butter on them, which is not an issue with my regular kindle. I also REALLY don't like the bright colored screen when reading on it. It is like reading on a computer and I prefer to feel more like I am reading a real book, not a computer screen (I look at computer screens all day for work). With my regular kindle, I can use it outside or to read in the tub and this would not be possible at all with a kindle fire. I can forget that I am on a device and feel like I am just reading a book. I don't get that w/ the Kindle Fire. A basic kindle (not touch- I hate the touch and got rid of my Kindle touch) can be had pre-owned for like $35-$40 from cowboom. I would definitely just pick one of those up to read on and not try to read on either the fire or ipad, whichever you decide to get. I've bought two kindles from here already because I want to have one in each of our houses and they've both been in good condition. I've also dropped my regular kindle MULTIPLE times (onto concrete, and falling off a hammock onto a flagstone patio when my dog jumped onto the hammock) and the kindle is none-the-worse for the wear. I do not think the same would have been true w/ an ipad or fire This post was edited by beaglesdoitbetter on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 22:42...See MoreAnother Kindle question
Comments (5)I received a Paperwhite for my birthday in October (it was on order for a couple of weeks) and have just finished my first two books. Along with the Paperwhite, my family also gave me a gift card for $30 and a case. I have so far gotten all of my books from Amazon. They have 100 books for $3.99 or less and a daily deal which is even cheaper. I check their daily special regularly and have found several I want. These are less than $3.99 usually. There is also a YA on special each day. Black Friday brought a bunch of very inexpensive books from that site, too. I have used up my gift card, needless to say. I have checked my local library (small town). Most of the offerings are the classics, which I prefer to purchase as audiobooks. However, there are also current books available and I will look into that in the future. I met a woman in a waiting room reading a Kindle Fire, and she said she gets all her books from the public library for free. She is given 3 weeks on the first check out. She said she has finished them all so far and hasn't needed to recheck them out yet. I would never have bought myself a Kindle, as I am somewhat of a technophobe, but must say, I am in love with it. I carry it everywhere and it fits in my small purse really well....See MoreKindle Paperwhite or Fire HD7
Comments (9)I'm sure it does help with the Eye Strain problem. These LED/LCD are bright and hard on the eyes. We really don't notice it much now, but when we first switched from the old CRT Style Monitors and TV's most of us complained about how bright the LCD Screens were. I can see how the Paperwhite screen would be easier on the eyes after a long night of reading. I have an 10.1" Acer Iconia a500 w/Android 4.0 in a Swivel Case and I understand how your arms could get tired holding your iPad Air. My Acer a500 is a very heavy tablet. I recently upgraded to an 8" Acer Iconia W4-820 w/Windows 8.1 and Case (not swivel). You wouldn't believe the difference in the weight between those two Tablets!...See MoreDo you use a Kindle Paperwhite?
Comments (8)I have a paperwhite and love it but I too don't find it so intuitive. I struggle with customizing but still love having it (especially to read outside at the beach wherever with no glare). I am sure I would love it more if I was more comfortable with the customizing. Anyway I am sure you will love it....See MoreElmer J Fudd
