I use my Knidle every day. I am an audiobooks reader. I use it in my car, in my sewing room, in situations where you need to wait,. I pay about 8-9 bucks for best sellers in that format or as little as 5 bucks. I could use my computer for the same thing and sometimes I do.
For the difference in money I would get the Fire, I think the screen is better.
I love mine for the following reasons.....
No fuss, no muss. No more books, newspapers, magazines lying around.
You can share. My GF and I share.
You can get on the net, especially with the Fire so you can play games.
Oh yeah you can buy a book at 2am, get the one you want---not what is on the shelf in your small town and you dont waste gas going to the store.
You save money.
You can play games and do crosswords without caring half the library of Congress around with you....saved my sanity when I was waiting for my Mom's surgeries this last year.
Finally you can listen through audible or read.
