I wouldn't be annoyed, the Kindle you have has a battery that lasts twice as long as the new Kindle, and it has a proper keyboard. The only plus for the new Kindle is it's a bit lighter.

- revjx 15y agoAgreed. The 'normal' Kindle is a fantastic little device, the battery life being one of the many reasons why I don't feel the new Fire supercedes it in any way.
- chollida1 15y ago> and it has a proper keyboard This is my favorite feature of the kindle. Before I used to read technical books in bed and I wasn't sure how much I was actually getting out of them. With the kindle I can make notes as I go and then review the notes later. I find I'm retaining a whole lot more with the note taking ability of the kindle than I do by just reading a book in bed. I've tried to use the iPad keyboard on the kindle app but it's just much slower. I wouldn't give up the physical keyboard for anything.
- sliverstorm 15y agoSleeker, too. As someone with a 2nd gen Kindle, let me tell you the smaller, slimmer 3rd gen Kindles have haunted me for some time. When they are already this small, shaving off an inch is a big difference.
