Hmm, I guess I will need to decide if I am willing to buy a kindle fire. I am doing a lot of thinking about this subject.

If you just want to read, just get one of the ereaders. The lowest cost regular price one is only $69. That's the one I take with me everywhere since if it falls on concrete, it didn't cost that much. Kindle fire is great if you WANT to get whispersync books or need to use TTS. Otherwise, it's quite a bit heavier than any ereader. In addition, you have to charge the sucker up a lot more often than an ereader. I have to charge it pretty much daily vs. my Mom's paperwhite which only get's charged once a week (and she reads a LOT!).

Two I bailed out on about the 1/3 mark, disappointed because I really thought they'd be my thing. So now I can cross them on my TBR pile. But I liked another two of them enough to want to re-read, so bought them to make sure I had them for the future.

This is what I used to do with the library for other books back when I could actually read deadtree books. read it first, if I really thought I'd read it again, I'd buy it. I still bought random paperbacks new now and then though.
