I recharge tablet at night anyway so battery is not an issue for me. I get v fast page turns , retina display quality, 300+dpi text, controllable background shading, full colour book covers,epub3 support, immediate page turns, tap to access wikipedia / dictionaries of my choice, no ghosting, no gradients, no blotches, wireless access to my calibre library via calibre companion.... what's not to like and why pay nearly £200 for some inferior, slow, gray scale only device

This is the other issue, do I just buy a Kindle fire tablet, of course I'll only know after reading with it for a couple of weeks to determine how easy it is on the eyes.

Does the entry level $99/$129 Kindle Fire have those same specs as you mentioned above?
