The 2 page landscape mode is more like an actual book - unless you are in the habit of doubling the spines back on paperbacks, and I find it more relaxing to not have a completely white background
Also the tablet lets me read both amazon books in kindle reader and epub with moon reader, and use calibre companion for simple wireless book loading of both formats.
I also have a previous generation samsung tab 10.5 inch android tablet - which again is a very relaxing hi-def read. that tablet has a reading mode option which reduces screen refresh time and mutes colours, and also a blue light filter app ( from Google play store ). Samsung no longer make the 16x10 shape HD tablets, otherwise I'd recommend that. I have not tried reading on the squarer ipad & clones tablets
The cheaper fire HD is arguably better for watching movies etc as it supports AC3 - dolby audio, so plex runs without any need to transpose those, plus you get full HD amazon video

I'm glad to hear you like your HD10 Fire because that is exactly what I decided on
After a lot of reviews, and checking what each tablet had to offer, I think I got the right one for me
It's 10.1 inch so it has the bigger screen for my Spectrum TV app I like to use when I'm cooking in the kitchen. I also like the Alexa so I can do some things hands-free
I'll put the link so you all can see the one I ordered. It won't be here until next week, but that's ok. I'll probably still do a lot of my reading on my Kindle Fire 7", but who knows, I'm going to try the way Stumped likes to read on his/hers
Mine was 119.00 which I know is amongst the cheaper tablets, but I just feel this will work for me. Time will tell
Thanks again everyone, and I'll come back when I have it and let you know how I like it
My finger is so much better now, have it wrapped up good for now. Night all, Denise
