I use the HDX 2013 with white text on a black background. There is no blue border at all that way. Some folks may not be able to use it that way for a variety of reasons.

I also use it for lots of apps and to play my music while reading. It has far less glare than the HD 2012. I've never seen the HD 2013 so cannot comment on it.

I only use the PW 2013 for reading in a bright room or with sunlight coming through a window. It has NO glare at all.

I believe the HDX 2013 is cheaper than the iPad mini and has the advantage over the Nexus 7 with its Mayday feature and the ability to play my Amazon songs from the Cloud and from the Device. So far as I know, no tablet or even a PC has this Mayday feature. Even with PC's one must call customer support and then they can take over one's PC. Mayday connects to a real person in seconds with a video and they can move lines on the HDX and take it over.
