Fire seemed like it would fit the bill. Unfortunately like I said, the screen just isn't high-enough resolution and Kindle app is no different that on any other device. While I'm sure at $200 the screen is as good as it gets, it's disappointing that Amazon didn't create a superior Kindle experience, maybe with collections, page numbers, better page transitions, and faster book scrolling. I have way too many books to not have them grouped, and it's annoying when a dual-core tablet has a problem scrolling backwards in a book.

The screen is as "high resolution" as they come so I don't know what your issue is with that. The operation of the Fire is fine, you are just nit-picking and trying to make it sound bad for some reason.
If you want a reason then just say it doesn't have cameras or gps or bluetooth, but jeezus man you are stretching to find something wrong that simply isn't there. It was never there, and you should have known it before you come in here whining that it's not a tablet, not a computer, can't use it outside in the bright sunlight, it doesn't have 4G LTE, not enough memory, the speakers suck cause they're both on one side, there's no microphone so I can't make phone calls, I wanted to use photoshop on it and it won't even do that!
P.S. Go get an iPad!
