After looking at some larger eReaders (as advised by Billi) I came across the Fire HD 8.9, which I didn't know about before since it's not yet released in Europe. I'm quite interested since it offers some nice toy-usage possibilities (with the full hd screen) for a nice price.

Does anyone have experience with at least 2 hours (preferably 4+)) of reading with a Fire HD? (the smaller I assume is very similar when it comes to "eye fatigue" and such).

And about using it: how free from anything third-party can I expect to be with a Fire HD 8.9 with the ads removed? Any contact with Amazon? Can I basically just use without ever putting it online?

Thanks!
