There are several different kinds of Kindles. I bought the one that you can access the internet and you can even take pics with it. I have really enjoyed mine. I wasn't for sure what I wanted, so I went to staples and looked at all the brands that they had in the store. Took my time and just browsed the different options. I live in a small community so don't have many places to shop. Staples and Walmart when it comes to electronics. I knew that I wanted something that was wifi, because I didn't want another bill to pay. I take my Kindle to the library and also take on vacations.
