My kids got me the Fire for Christmas and I really like it. I have read more books since I got it than I have in 10 years. I can get books from Amazon for free or buy them and also from the library. I went to the library as they had an overview on how to download books from them, it is so easy to do I don't even need my instructions anymore! I also downloaded my email account plus some games that my daughter thought I would like, I have other things loaded but can't think of them right now (old age). I'm sure you would enjoy having one no matter which one you get.
