I do wonder how many people buy Kindle Fires when they aren't on one of their $40 clearance sales. I've bought three or four of them that way.
They are, to be honest, pretty terrible, but for reading in the middle of the night when I can't turn on the light and use my regular Kindle, they beat using my phone.

- 9HZZRfNlpR 7y agoPaperwhite is not a cheap product. Unfortunately there are no cheap alternatives either, I always wonder why Chinese don't clone and manufacture something similar in mass. Is it so hard or e-ink is something that is not manufactured there?
- pjmlp 7y agoIn Europe there are lots of cheap e-ink device clones.
- thrower123 7y agoI really prefer the old Kindles that had the physical paddle buttons to change pages instead of a touchscreen. It's a much better UX, and those things are virtually indestructible.
- WorldMaker 7y agoThe top end Kindle Oasis model has physical buttons again. It's even more indestructible with supposedly good water-proofing added in the most recent refresh. Just below that top end you can still find the Kindle Voyage sometimes on sale (it's a generation behind now, so don't buy it if it isn't on sale) with haptic, capacitive touch that are a decent close second to physical buttons.
