But let's turn to the positive...:

My favorite new feature on the Fire is the ability to Share selected text with any app that registers for Sharing. Yes, just like you might expect of a real mobile app. So, for example, you can save a highlight directly to Evernote or email, not just Goodreads/FB/Twitter. Unfortunately you cannot do that with Personal Documents, but there are workarounds (e.g. highlight, capture screen, share the image with Evernote, which will index the text to make it searchable).
My favorite new feature is the quick list, I know my Fire 2012 had the favorites list but I love this one so much better since my most recent apps are right at the top.

My second favorite feature is the light weight of the device, even in a cover it is so easy to hold and read for several hour stretches.

I didn't realize that about the PDs, I do not use too many docs and most of them are spreadsheets or Word docs.
