The Kindle color tablets have excellent color but you do not need to buy a Kindle Tablet. The Kindle program is free and there is a version for just about anything.

Would you know which Kindle Is a colour tablet. I have been looking at Amazon and not one of kindle tablets mentions anything about colour. Last month I was given a tablet and I downloaded the kindle aps and the colour on my tablet is bad. Thanks for your reply. REJ.

A Kindle app allows Kindle text or video to be played on a variety of tablets and computers. I play Kindle files on my Kindle which happens to be monochrome, but I believe Kindles with color screens are also available. I can also use the Kindle app on my Apple iPad tablet (full color screen) on on my MacBook Pro to play Kindle content.

The Kindle Fire and Fire HD are both color and the color rendering is quite good.

I've tried e readers and they have convinced me that I am an antiquated page turner. I get more enjoyment out of holding a book in my hand and turning real pages then a piece of plastic and turning pretend pages. So thanks but not thanks.

I know the feeling, as of now I am just looking. REJ.

I guess some masachistic individuals would rather lug one 8 pound 500-page novel than carry a 1/2" thick 7oz e-reader with the full text of 8-10 books on it - makes sense ROFLMAO

Great point. I use the Kindle app on a Samsung Galaxy, Apple iPAD, Microsoft Surface and various Dell Laptops. I do not know if this is still the case, but Kindle Fire readers in the past throttled how much you could download from the web, with priority given to Amazon and the Kindle App. You're better of with an iPAD or Android tablet.

I have the Kindle app on PCs and an HP tablet. The all work well.

But for reading things with color images I really like the Kindle Fire HDX. Just get one of the larger screens.

Kindle tablets are color.Kindle e-Readers are not.

Now I feel like I'm between two worlds. One in which everything is electronic, and one in which old style must remain.

I love my Kindle Fire, for reading. I know it can do more, but having it serve as a great book, to go everywhere, makes is the best book in the world. And I mean just that. I use it as a book only, but unlike Gone With The Wind, which I dearly loved, I wouldn't take it everywhere with me until I finished it. The book is thick and heavy. But with my Kindle, as a book, it goes everywhere. What more can one ask?

My Kindle is great for reading but email and other internet connections are, well, just plain sloppy. Don't fit the screen, etc.

Well, the Nooks and Nook by Samsung readers can hold a lot more books, magazines, audio books, music, and games than 8-10 books, unless you are loading text books or technical manuals.

Then, you can archive those that you aren't currently using, but they will remain in your library. Think if a traditional personal library and the size and weight to move it, vs. a 7 oz. reader that could hold that entire library. I don't know about you, but I would rather carry that 7 oz. reader, than haul around an 18 wheeler loaded with my library.

I was a traditionalist, until I started going through several books every week and was running out of space to store those books. The decision to convert was a no brainer for me. First releases were nearly half the price on the Nook instead of in print version. So, not only was I saving space, I was also saving money in the long run.

And, with each new model that is released, the cameras only improve.

Also, the Kindle app is available on the Nook brand devices that have been released within the last couple of years through the Google App Store.

Emails are proportionately adjusted in portrait, or spread out on landscape. Only rarely does an advertisement email not fit the screen entirely on my Nook, resulting in just a little side to side movement to read the entire ad.

Kindle Fire HD is good. I also use the Kindle app on my computers and iPads.

^^The Kindle works the same way. You can load many, many books for current viewing, and then, archive the rest. It will hold thousands of books. I, too, was a book purist until I realized I could stop hauling ten big books around on vacation. I still buy special books that I love for my collection. Sometimes, you just want to hold a book. But, not on vacation, at the doctor's office and on a plane, etc.
