Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this Kindle during a Black Friday sale at Best Buy last year. They had this Kindle and one of the Kindle Fires discounted and I was torn between which one to buy. I finally went with this one because I don't really need another device on which, essentially, to watch Netflix! While I am an avid reader, this was my first e-reader purchase. I'd read entire books on my laptop and smart phone before so I'm not one of those "I'll only ever read a real book because that's how it's meant to be" people. I think e-readers are great. I'd just never made it a point to buy one with all the unread books I already have lying around the house. That being said, I love my Kindle now. Since November I've probably read close to twenty books. It's just so easy. Using this particular Kindle also has the added benefit that it's just an e-reader. Not a tablet, i.e. a trove of distractions. I am delighted by the fact that I can just take trip with my little device and have more books than I need. It really makes me feel like I am living in the future. I find it amazing every time that it's a Saturday night and I find out about something I need to read immediately, I can just get on the Kindle store and buy a new book without ever having to leave my house. I also love the size. It fits in any of my handbags or coat pockets. I think it's intuitive and easy to use. I love that it's glare-free because I tend to spend a lot of time outside and I can see the text no matter how bright the sun is shining. The battery life is great. Since owning it, I've probably charged it three times. I would highly recommend the cover Amazon has for this model. It's really handy. I'm attaching a picture to show what a lovely addition Kindle with the cover makes to an already wonderful day. I'm definitely glad I bought this over a tablet. It's perfect for me.
