I have the smaller less expensive Kindle and I love it! I can download books from either the Kindle or Amazon and then take it with me where ever I go. The books are so much cheaper and many are free. It has been rated no. 1 by Consumer Reports. I can read on it for hours and don't have any eye stress. It doesn't have color, but I don't feel I need it. It does have voice if the ebook offers it. You will be glad you have it.
