I was also surprised by how much I read on the Fire. Reading at night is much better and I have been doing all my daytime reading on the fire as well. The only exception is when I want to read outside in the sunlight and I switch back to my DX.

PDF's and Comics are better on the fire.
For everything else I prefer eink. |

I'm not finding my fire as good as my K3 for reading regular text, except at night. The screen is still a bit too twitching and I accidentally bring up the location, and top and bottom bars far too many times. It's certainly good enough, but I wish it was a little smoother.

I guess I'm one of the weird ones that prefer the backlight over e-ink. No, I can't read from the kfire outside, but I rarely read outside anyway.

I use my Kindle Fire mainly for reading (and a little bit of web browsing) and love it. Before, I had a Kindle 3 Keyboard, but I broke its display after about a month of using it.
Both are great for reading, the eInk device possibly a little better so. But given its fragility and the fact that I am already spending way too much money on electronic devices, I sold the replacement Kindle 3 Keyboard I got from Amazon to somebody else and am now using only the Fire. Best regards, Andy PS: I just checked, I've read about 15 books with about 10,000 pages on my Kindle Fire since I got it last year, so it is definitively usable for reading books ;-) |

I just got my Kindle Fire and I love it. But I also have the Kindle 3 and I love it too. I am using my Kindle fire a lot for reading an also the web and I use my Kindle 3 for reading mostly when I am out on my porch rocking or in my car waiting on my wife at times.
