Hello everybody, I have owned a Kindle for about a year and love it. I have been looking at the new Kindle Fire and it really looks great, but I always have some reservation on buying something without know more about it. So, here are some questions that I hope some of you can help me with.

Is reading with a back lit screen hard on the eyes? Unlike the comfort of the e-ink screen?

Does the Kindle Fire have text to speech?

Are there free apps and games like on android phones?

I will be able to put all my current Kindle books on the Fire?

Can I download movies that I already have on it?

Can I download audiobooks that I already have to the Fire?

These are some questions of the top of my head, any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
