I have think about it and there are several reasons why bigger ereaders are an issue :
- They are more expensive
- They don't fit in a pocket, and I am working in a lab with chemicals, in the pocket the device is safer than on a table with all the stuff.
- In the bus or the metro in Paris it will be stolen in a few days.
Actually I am quite nervous about the last issue with the kindle fire because of the glossy and "high tech" design wich might inspire jealousy (even if it is not that expensive).
I am especially worried about the "multimedia" capabilities, ereader are not attractive for non "professional" thieves (most of them don't read if they even know how) but looking videos is clearly an aspect that can make them think about it.
I am not earning a lot of money because I am a student and replacing the device is not an option.
But I didn't find any other 6 to 7 inches alternative yet. So I am getting it.
And I found the kindle ereader very fragile and the kindle fire seems, as many android tablets do, to be more stiffer.
I just hope eye stain won't be an issue for me...
@Speckbo : Maybe you should have open a new topic, don't you think ?
