I think the success of the kindle fire is due to its small (book like) size which make it the perfect ebook reader. Combined with a low price and a deep integration with amazon prime... it's a killer.
I only use mine to read and honestly that's maybe the best $200 I ever spent.
- TylerE 14y agoI can't imagine doing lots of reading on a non-eink screen.
- grosbisou 14y agoThat was actually my big concern when I bought it. But it ended up fine with me. I know some people having trouble reading too long on it though. And they went back to eink.
- scdc 14y agoFor reading in bed at night, the back-lit screen on an iPad or Fire is nice since you don't need another light source. But I agree for all other times.
- aiscott 14y agoI have a kindle, iphone 4, and ipad 1. I like reading on all of them, but I mostly read on my phone. This is mainly because I read in bed at night, and having a light on for the kindle would bothers my wife trying to get to sleep. I rarely read with the ipad just because of size and weight. And to a lesser extent the non-retina screen. Some people are really bothered by reading a backlit screen, but it doesn't bother me. I use the black background with white text and turn down the brightness and it works pretty good.
