Disappointed in the "improved" Kindle.
I had to purchase this Kindle after my previous one developed a screen problem. I am disappointed in many things about it. I don't like having to go into the cloud to make folders of my books - that was not necessary on my previous Kindle and I see no advantage to it on this one. Instead, I find it intrusive and it limits where I can be when organizing my books. More intrusions: I did not buy the Kindle so that Amazon could advertise to me every time I pick it up. Worse, when you swipe the screen, the ad is STILL THERE, along with a button that says "Purchase Now" which I must be careful not to touch before I can get to the books I have already bought. Then there is the "My Library" grouping of the last three books I've read on the front screen, along with yet more advertising, which I must get past before I can get to my list (which has yet another ad at the bottom of it, along with a "Shop Now" button). It can also be very difficult to get to the touch screen buttons which allow you to navigate from book to home, etc. Sometimes it pops up easily and sometimes you must try several times. For a simple reading device it has been over-complicated, not to mention that I apparently have paid for Amazon to put ads in front of me. Yeesh.
