I wasn't planning to, but I got one a couple of weeks ago when they had the $50 off sale.
I've got an iPad mini, have had a regular sized one (which my Dear Hubby took over) and a Windows tablet. I ended up getting rid of the Windows as it drove me crazy trying to get it set up and running. (Although DH loves his, but he only has a few programs on it for his quad-coptor and 3D printing stuff.)
Love my mini's but wanted to play with the Kindle Fire.
Very nice machine. The OS could be a bit better, but I like the fact I can use an SD card and a file manager and carry my whole library with my like I do on the Mini. The Kindle program is okay, and I can read on it without thinking about it much.
I could only find Aldiko that I've used before for the epubs, and bought the premium version since I liked it on the Androids. But I really don't like the Kindle version. I'll have to play with it more, but I can't find how to change the touch settings for the side of the machine, and have to touch the bottom to turn pages. And I'm having troubles with other stuff from the bottom instead of a page turn.
Any other recommendations for epub files?
This is also the first time I've played seriously with Amazon's Whisper Sync. My Voyage isn't wanting to connect to my wifi anymore, so I've just been sideloading it.
