Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This Kindle version is disappointing. Apps I had on my old Kindle such as Text Plus won't load on the new HD 8. There is no May Day button! I like the convenience of click and go tech. Customer service told me reason for the change was pranks done by users. So instead of solving the problem the designers take the easy way out. The back of the previous Kindle models had a rubberized back, this new HD 8 does not. So the potential for scratches and finger smudges will be greater. The Kindle environment was better in the last version. The new environment lacks in functionality and easy of use. Yes the HD 8 is cheaper, but you get what you pay for, as the saying goes. I would gladly pay more for a more exciting and better built model. Next time ask your customers what they want and then build it for them. Sorry Amazon I love you, but you disappointed me on this one.
