I have the Kindle fire that was just before the HDX came out. I use it for listening to my audio books but send them to the Kindle from Audible web site on my PC. The scrolling on the fire is the pits. I also use it to watch my emails. but will answer by way of computer. The Kindle tends to think it knows more about what I intend to say than I do. LOL. Same reason I do very few text messages with smart phone.
