I'd certainly agree that the Fire is a great media consumption tablet for kids, but I'm not sure it would be the best choice to encourage
reading.
I've abandoned reading on my iPad, not because of any difficulties with the display (I found it excellent to read on - except in very bright sunlight, which isn't a huge issue here in the UK!), but just because of the constant temptation to check my email and all the other distractions.
My youngest son inherited an older tablet from me a while ago, with a view to reading on it, but found the temptation of the games etc. too much. I've since got him a Kindle PW, which has rekindled (!) his love of reading.
Nothing against the Fire - it's a great device and Amazon customer service is second to none in my experience.
