I love my Kindle, and I did not want the one with all be bells and whistles. I just wanted something where I could read my books anytime and anyplace, and that is what I got. I have been in the hospital 7 times in thelast 5 months, and I always grab my Kindle to go with me, and it has been a great comfort to me. My hubby is getting the Kindle Fire whatever, but I am happy with mine. Plus the games it plays.
