If there is one reason to buy the Kindle Fire HDX 2013, its the advanced handling of music. I've spent just a few hours reading on it but I've spent most of my time importing, arranging and listening to music.

First you must install the Amazon Music Importer. Then every song imported is compared to the Amazon catalog and the file you get is an ultra high class rendition with lyrics added in many cases. Just moving a file to the HDX will not get this treatment. Plus, one does NOT get this treatment by just uploading files to the Amazon Cloud storage site. One must use the Amazon Music Importer to get this treatment.

Those, who have moved songs direct to the Cloud would be well advised to delete them and then re-import using the Amazon Music Importer unless a call to CS could arrange for that processing to take place separately in the Cloud.

I keep my brightness at about 50% for great reading in dusk, the best time for me to read at my bay window. HDX fonts at that brightness setting and with fading ambient light is far better than any fonts the PW 2013 can produce. The HDX screen has eliminated almost all the glare of the HD 2012.

As one reads, the music lifts up from the HDX In a very high level of purity and sound making the HD 2012 obsolete and makes the Paperwhite 2013 a primitive device.

Plus, just a sweep down while reading produces a link to the artist where one can test other songs by the same person. Instead of the prior 10 second sample, one gets almost the entire song to play. Then, if one likes, enter the pass code set up previously and the song downloads to the HDX AND the PC inside the Amazon Cloud Player but also available to Media Monkey and Windows Media Player.

Plus, when reading in bright sunlight the music can be streamed to Grace Internet radios to play while reading with the Paperwhite 2013.

However, nothing matches the purity and high quality of the HDX sound. The speakers were definitely upgraded from the HD 2012. PW 2013 only purchasers are missing the main accompaniment to reading: MUSIC !!
