I never thought of that, but that's another advantage. Thanks
I keep my camera manual as a PDF on my Kindle. My Smartphone is a Blackberry, Desktop and Laptop are PC Windows based. All my music is MP3, I live my life Apple Free.

I have a Kindle Fire and for the most part I like it. But it seems to me that the battery charge doesn't last as long as I thought it would. And the screen is terrible outdoors.
Have you tried changing the background to black with white letters? I found that took care of the problem.

I love my Kindle Fire. I have the regular old Kindle I use for just reading, but I use the Fire to watch movies, TV shows, play games, etc. If you have a netflix, hulu+, or HBOgo account, you can watch anything on there. It's especially nice if you're traveling. I've been using mine to catch up on a series while on lunch and break at work.

Here in new zealand we dont have kindle fire, Australia has it but without alot of the options usa has.
Also the public libray e books are not in a kindle format, they can be converted calibre but then the digital rights managenent gets in the way.
I have comercial software to remove it.
It all gets a bit over the top.
We pay a lot more for our units as well , sure we can buy from usa but international freight can sometimes be huge.

I have a Kindle Fire and I love it. It's worth every bit of the $200. I too haven't seen many discounts. Photos loaded on really display beautifully!
