    I much prefer reading on the tablet over the e-ink device. I have a Kindle Paperwhite and an Amazon Fire 7, and I exclusively use the Fire 7. Goes with me everywhere, and I average about 2 to 3 hours per day of reading on it during the workweek, up to about 6 or 7 hours on Sundays. For me, it is flawless. Perfect size, durable (especially with the case and sleeve I have for mine), easy for me to keep in my work bag to read on during lunch break, and the screen is nice. Great color and contrast. I have 125 books in my Kindle App library, and a further 130 books in PDF format that I read using the Moon+ Reader app. The experience the Fire 7 provides is absolutely perfect for me.

    A Kindle Fire has to have the battery recharged more frequently (1 - 3 times per week vs. 1-2 times per month.) A Kindle Fire has a display that is more harsh to the eyes than a Kindle Paperwhite e-reader.) Please keep these two things in mind when deciding which is preferred. The only major thing in my opinion aside from reader comfort is whether the owner/user insists on having color vs. black-and white, and whether or not one insists on watching movies (in color) or storing color photos in the Fire which the Kindle of course does not enable.

    I am a huge fan of all the kindles. I have the paperwhite, the oasis and the fire hd 8 plus. I like them for different reasons. I love the paper white and the oasis for the portability and the fire hd for the variety of things you can do on it. The only reason I find myself reaching for the fire tablet more often is because I like read and listen to the audio books at the same time. Otherwise I just use my phone to do both. This just makes it more convenient. 😊

The reading of PDFs in the Paperwhite is really bad, which is why I know I made the wrong decision.

    My grandma just bought a paper white and she doesn’t like it either! Haha! She is thinking she should of bought the fire! She reads on an old iPad and she says she much prefers this than the paper white. Personally, I like them both ha! I usually read one on the paper white then one on the kindle fire (I have a 10) 😀. I love that the 7 is smaller and I assume lighter! That’s my only gripe with the 10,
    It’s too heavy for bed reading. 😊💕

    My first ebook was read on my Fire 7 2015. Then I heard about the Kindle Paperwhite. So I purchased one. I' m not sure what happened I rediscovered my Fire hd8 and now that's my preferred method of reading.
    So when I'm not on my tablet I conserve battery by turning off Wi-Fi. The Kindle app can be used offline. The next time you open hour ebook and turn on Wi-Fi it will sync with Amazon's cloud. Walah! :)

    I agree. I'm learning to like reading on a tablet far more than an e-ink. Couple reasons:
    1) They say the e-ink is better for the eye's and in many ways this is true BUT i really, really hate the transition on page turning. That is irritating for my eye's. That couple second flash.
    And
    2) I REALLY hate the limitation on e-ink readers menu and home page. If you have several hundred books it is a real pain and slow. Plus again it has to do that 2sec flash as it goes to next section of books.
    I don't own the kindle nor a fire but have used many tablets (apple/samsung) and I do use the kobo only so I can put my own ebooks (sideloading is super easy on kobos) on it. But the kobo is slow and does the same issue's with that flash. But all my tablets are over 10" and thinking of getting the 7" fire just so its easier to hold in bed.

Then navigate to your library's website on the computer, download the epub version of the book you want to borrow to your computer. Then, plug your nook into your computer. You will need to have Adobe digital editions open and drag the downloaded epub from your downloads folder on your computer to the Adobe digital editions folder. You will need to register your nook with Adobe digital editions for it to pop up as a removable drive on the computer. It's a process that takes less than five minutes. Once the nook shows up as a removable drive, you will drag the downloaded book from Adobe digital editions down to where you now see your nook in the same app, and it will copy the file to your nook. Be sure to safely eject your nook from the computer and then you can read it on your nook. I have noticed with downloaded library books on the nook that they will expire on the due date whether or not you have wifi turned on. However, with the Kindle as long as you have wifi turned off, you can keep the book as long as you need to. The library will get their copy back on the due date, but it will stay on your Kindle as long as you have wifi turned off. Hope this helps.

    Looking to buy something that will be best for reading audible books and is easily intuitive for a very elderly person. Any advice would be a big help.

      I would think the Kindle Fire would be great for audible. If someone can show them how to access and turn on the audible book. It it is bigger, and easier to hold too. That being said, I don't know how to access audible on the Kindle Paperwhite. As I gave it to daughter.

    Can you delete all of the distracting apps on the kindle fire? Someone else got it and said they couldn’t delete the apps that were already pre installed?
