Feels super cheap and does not come pre-set and linked to your account
Well it's a bummer. This is not Amazon experience at all. The device feels very "plasticky", the screen touch is super sensitive (which could be a good thing for reading, but not great for initial typing and set-up). Even despite we are replacing an existing Kindle reader on our account, it does not come pre-set. This is our 4th Kindle reading device (all different types and generations), but by far the worst experience right out of the box...
UPDATE 3rd day in... It's a "budget" kindle. More "budget" than previous generations. If you are looking for a budget device this is it. I'm returning as it originally was intended to replace wife's Kindle Voyage (300ppi and beautiful backlight) that has a challenge with charging connector. It's actually surprisingly better and cheaper to re-solder the charging connector on the Voyage, than to replace it with this one...
