For humanity sake, please buzz off the Kindle. If you want color, interactions, fresh articles any time, stylus and other bells and whistles - just buy yourself a tablet. Kindle is a perfect tool for one and just one task: longreading. It's display is optimized for hours of non-eyes-violent usage, including before-sleep time with internal lighting only. It has a great battery life, it's compact and can be fit into almost any inside pocket, it's really lightweight — 33% to 50% less weight compared to similar form-factor tablets. It doesn't need an internet connection and it is great: no distraction! It is a natural selection for airplane or time far from civilization. I like sailing, and there were tons of great books and articles read during sea passages and anchorage evenings. Maybe, just maybe, it can be better with file transfers. Something like Bluetooth or direct WiFi. But I have a small USB OTG adapter for my Android phone, always tucked into a Kindle's soft case, so when once a month I want to read something on my Kindle immediately - I just use it as an external drive. My condolences to Apple ecosystem inmates. (I actually understand that it is not in Amazon best interests to have a good file transfer for Kindles — it messes with their business model. $1.5 OTG adapter is just fine)
