I've had a Kindle Fire for a couple of years, received as a gift. I like it and it was an easy transition for me from paper. Especially like the convenience for travel. I used to have stacks of books in our motorhome that took up too much room! At home, too. The only drawback is that it is hard to read outside and that is something that I like to do, mainly on vacation. I can do it by using prescription sunglasses and a visor and careful positioning. I guess that can happen with paper, also. If I were to buy a new one I might look into that feature. My Kindle is associated with Amazon but I rarely buy full price books from them. I use Bookbub and the library for the most part. Bookbub actually is through Amazon, anyway the billing is. Most of their books are very inexpensive, 1.99, 2.99, or free.
