Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased the Kindle Fire HD a few days after it came out and I liked it well enough. However, it became my true companion and best friend this past week during the aftermath of hurricane Sandy, and I have a new appreciation for this awesome device! We lost power for a week, and this is when my kindle really shined. I was able to recharge it quickly at a charging station and watch movies (downloaded to my device using the librarys wifi) during the cold nights in my home. I was also able to listen to Pandora radio, read a novel in the dark, play games and watch a movie while waiting on a 2 hour line to get gas. My kindle was with me at all times during the week. Its portable and has awesome battery life. What I really appreciated about my kindle this week was that I could recharge it in the car so that I didn't need to constantly go back to the recharging station, and the charge lasted through movies, music, novels and games. I was able to take my kindle to the local library which still has wifi and surf the web and keep on top of the local news. It was much easier to carry around than my laptop, and kept its charge much longer. It also did a great job of detecting and connecting to wifi. My Kindle kept me sane during the hurricane! and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to read, listen to music, play games, watch movies and surf the web. Great product!
