No matter if wifi is on or not, every time I want to remove a book, or open a book, it says that wifi is not on, do I want to turn it on. Well no, as I'm in the middle of a National Forest with no signal. When I say no I don't want to turn it on, it says are you sure. Drives me crazy, so I don't use it. I must admit that was several updates back, so maybe they have fixed it - but I don't trust them to do something stupid like that again. So, no Amazon.

I also have to say I looked at a friends Fire, HDX 3rd gen and it does have a really nice screen - maybe even better than the N7. But I still don't trust Amazon's programmers.
