I was looking for my first ever e-reader! So I got on the Amazon web site and thought, "get the best one available".

Ooopps. Doesn't always work out that way.

The Kindle Fire was big, heavy, and hard to hold. Made my fingers hurt from the pinch-grip. Made my arms ache from holding the reader up while reclining. The screen has bad glare. Sure, it's a nifty tablet that can display the stock ticker, but it's not a good reader.

I returned it in favor of a Kindle Touch.

For my first e-reader, the KT is much more satisfactory than the Fire.
