But honestly I will never have to because I always have two devices active at a time, I like having the ability to jump back and forth between the two. I also prefer reading on my eink because it keeps me from getting distracted with all the other apps. But I would love for my next Fire to have the above features. I know they already have the collections and I can live with the battery since it would be my secondary device but I would love to be able for it to be used in sunlight. I do not know what the technology is that my Note has but I want my next Fire to have it, otherwise I will be sorely tempted to go back to Samsung tablets.

Wait until this October. Amazon may introduce a very large and light smart phone which can fit in a pocket and offer a switchable eInk screen plus be able to run a native eReader with all kinds of features we cannot even dream about now.
One thing is sure, we don't know which directions technology will take but we do know it will always surprise us.
The new tablets may be pocket foldable and be as big as the 6" and 7" inch readers and tablets of today.
I notice the Grace Internet Radio runs on my HDX 2013 but not on the S5 while my Shredder Chess program runs on the S5 but not on the HDX 2013.
No apps run on the Paperwhite 2013.
Its nice to be able to alternate between a Samsung Galaxy s5 2014, an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2013 and an Amazon Kindle HDX 2013 as the situation demands. The s5 is still the latest and greatest.
I remember in the "old" days they had large print Bibles but they also had pocket Bibles to suit differing needs.
