I have the Kindle Fire HD (not the newest one), but I love it. I read, do email, facebook, internet, watch videos. The picture is bright and clear, sound is in stereo. If it broke, I'd buy another one immediately. I bought a Nook and much prefer my Kindle. The iPad's are nice (my 3 year old granddaughter has her own-she took over her dad's), but I still prefer my Kindle after using her iPad.
